In this course, participants are introduced to report writing and the interpretation of findings from scores, interviews, and checklists. Discussion is limited to educational assessment tools which are widely used by educational therapists and do not require authorization to administer (i.e., credentialing as a school psychologist or licensing as a clinical or educational psychologist).
