When I present on the 🧠 cognitive processing test results 🧠 from the special education evaluation, I focus on the bigger picture of strengths 💪🏽 and areas that may require support 🏋🏻♀️.
I mostly accomplish this by visually showing this a color-coded bell curve which areas of processing they preformed within the expected range 🟡 for their age, and outside of it 🔵. This visual helps highlight what is typical and what we might need to focus more on in terms of a potential learning disability, and/or planning for compensatory strategies or accommodations.
It’s also very important to not only give a brief definition of what each processing area is, but connect that to examples from testing and real life 🔗. This gives the IEP team members a clearer idea of the skills and how they actually show up at home and in the classroom setting.
I can’t believe this series now has 7️⃣ parts! 😆😆 let me know if you’d like another part to this, either going into more depth about what I just shared or moving on to other areas of the evaluation! ⬇️
👋🏼And if you’re a school psychologist or another evaluator that goes over results like these, share in the comments if you present in a similar way, or have another way you’d like to share with us to help us learn from you! ⬇️
