How do we get a fuller picture of a client beyond test scores?

Discover how informal assessments and norm-referenced tests can be integrated into the assessment procedure to give you a more comprehensive understanding of your clients. From interviews and observations to rating scales and anecdotes, learn how each tool contributes to the assessment process—and how to make the most of their strengths and limitations.

You'll also get to put your learning into practice through our workshop activity on Developing a Psychological Assessment Battery, where you'll apply best practices to build a robust, well-rounded assessment plan that can be used in both clinical and educational settings.

Join us and discover how the right selection of assessment tools can help you see beyond the scores and better understand the person behind them!

Do you know how to facilitate interviews and observe your clients’ behavior?

Further hone these two foundational skills that are essential to the assessment process through this workshop.

Learn how to connect with clients, build rapport, and ask effective questions during an interview. You’ll also have the opportunity to formulate interview questions through an activity that you can use in your own work setting.

Going beyond questions, learn how to observe and make sense of your clients’ behavior during assessment. Explore what their body language—including tone of voice, facial expressions, posture, and gestures—may tell you, and how to consider these observations alongside other assessment information. You’ll also learn how to write behavioral observations and incorporate them into a psychological screening report.
