Summary:

Settings in which screening and progress measures are used vary as does the purpose of the assessment. School psychologists may use measures to determine the need for additional assessment, or in the case of an omnibus instrument, as an evaluation of social-emotional functioning that is required as part of eligibility evaluations. They also monitor the progress of interventions. Clinical psychologists use these same tools, although the emphasis is typically on diagnosis and intervention planning/evaluation. In this intermediate-level presentation, issues to consider when selecting a test such as sensitivity, reliability and validity will be examined across the different types of measures and settings/purposes. Measures such as the BASC-3 and the BASC-PM can be used for these varied purposes and will be used as cases in point. The examination of data and its interpretation for purposes such as special education eligibility, diagnosis, selection and planning treatment, and monitoring the progress of interventions will be addressed.
