Recommended Resources for Psychoeducational Assessment During Covid-19
As districts all over the country plan for what school may be like in August, school psychologists in the area wanted to be proactive and create some continuity in practices. A multi-district coalition of school psychologists from around the Bay Area collected a variety of information and resources regarding the completion of psychoeducational assessments during the current health crisis. Resources include considerations for:
- Written communication including prior written notices, parent letters, and informed consent;
- Health, safety and PPE including general testing environment needs, procedures for checking in and checking out for assessment, etc.;
- Completing assessments face-to-face;
- Completing assessments remotely; and
- Telehealth practices and service delivery
