Description
Delivering Psycho-educational Evaluation Results to Parents presents a practical and adaptable model for communicating complex evaluation results to parents in an easily understandable manner.
This book provides a concrete framework rooted in basic learning principles, effective communication practices, and practitioner empathy towards the parent experience of the home-school relationship. It offers a parent-friendly Feedback Model that can be adapted to school-based settings, making it ideal for early career school psychologists and professionals who complete psycho-educational evaluations.
Specific guidance is provided on explaining constructs in various domains, including cognitive, achievement, visual-motor, and social-emotional areas, as well as considerations for working with diverse populations. This text supports the graduate training of school psychologists and the professional development of early career professionals in the field of special education eligibility.
