PSY-R6593 Assessments: Nonverbal
In this residency, learners continue to develop skills in administering standardized assessment instruments necessary for practicing school psychologists. Learners review previously taught test batteries and report writing skills; engage in supervised observation, mock testing, and scoring activities; study the ethical principles associated with the practice of school psychology; and receive feedback from experienced professional school psychologists and peers. Throughout the residency, learners demonstrate the ability to follow the administration procedures as given in each test manual, to handle the test materials appropriately, to maintain a neutral test environment, and to encourage full "testee" cooperation during testing sessions. Learners are also introduced to, and practice through oral presentation, the basic skills needed for interpreting and communicating assessment results to parents, teachers, and other professionals. For PsyD in School Psychology learners only.
