PSY 7560 - Psychoeducational Assessment and Consultation

(3 Credits)

Most psychologists provide services to school age children under different circumstances and for different reasons. This course will prepare the student to respond and to intervene effectively in this type of professional setting. It will also provide advanced skills in psychological testing with children, integration of clinical data and methods of consultation in school settings. The student will learn about additional psychometric instruments and scales useful to address the type of referrals most frequently triggered by the learning problems of school age children. In accomplishing this, the course will examine theories of learning disability (language based, visual-spatial, etc.), neurodevelopmental conditions that interfere with academic performance, behavioral problems usually manifesting in academic settings and the law that regulate the delivery of special education services to qualified students. The dynamics of professional work in school setting will also be addressed in preparing students for a role in these community scenarios.
Pre-requisite(s): PSY 6520
