Our psychologist, Keith, has been asked to conduct a
psychoeducational evaluation on 8-year old Melanie. Melanie’s
teacher and parents are concerned because she is having
significant difficulty reading and comprehending information.
She also has a hard time paying attention and is always talking
out in class. She is a sweet girl and gets along well with others,
but her challenges are negatively impacting her grades and
interrupting the learning of those around her.
As Keith plans his assessment of Melanie’s difficulties, what
issues does he need to consider in order to increase the validity
of the assessment?
Remember to consider Melanie’s age and testing with students
who might have special needs.
Explain what testing accommodations Keith might need to make
given Melanie’s challenges and why.
What impact could making accommodations have on
standardization and, as a result, interpretation of the results?
What test format would best meet Melanie’s needs (e.g., type of
test, group vs. individual, etc.)? Why?
Reflect on what you have learned about the history of
assessment. How might Keith’s decisions differ today compared
to the beginnings of psychological assessment?
Describe how the impact of assessment results has changed over
time.
write your results in a 3-5 page, APA formatted paper.
Remember to include a cover page and reference list. Resources
can include readings from your textbook and course overviews,
as well as the
APA’s Ethical Principles and Code of Conduct Standard 9:
