| Description | The purpose for conducting psychoeducational assessments is to gain information about a child's current level of functioning within any of several important domains. An assumption made about the psychoeducational assessment process is that examiners have made every effort to eliminate all identifiable construct-irrelevant influences on the child's performance and the resultant test scores. Examiners should be aware that some influences on a child's test performance may be considered construct-relevant, while in other instances the same source of variation may be considered construct-irrelevant. In addition to standard examiner inquiries regarding the examinee's health, examiners should be observant of children's apparent health prior to initiating an assessment. Young children who are tired often become cranky, which can negatively affect their cooperation, motivation, and subsequent test performance. Some children are not motivated to demonstrate their potential during psychoeducational assessments for a variety of reasons. Book Name: Psychoeducational Assessment of Preschool Children |
