PSY 411 Cognitive & Academic Assessment
This course will focus on cognitive and academic testing using the Wechsler and Woodcock-Johnson scales. Students will learn how to integrate raw test data into assessment reports with recommendations for their practice cases. Emphasis will be placed on cultural considerations when administering, scoring, and interpreting test data. Students will be assigned measures to complete and explore test results in class. The importance of the presenting problem, behavioral observations (including the Mental Status Exam), background information, reliability and validity of tests administered and diagnostic impressions will be viewed through a cultural lens to determine treatment considerations in report writing.
