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

CASP has compiled a dedicated webpage for Covid-19 resources with statewide and national resources.  For CASP's August 2020 position paper on assessments click here.
