Cognitive Assessment of Diverse Populations Webinar (Register Now)
Presenter(s): Craig Frisby, PhD
Join Dr. Craig Frisby, PhD as he reviews important terms that are often misused when discussing cognitive assessment of diverse populations. He will explore the pros and cons of alternative assessments that have been promoted by scholars in school psychology and special education.
Professional organizations that train practitioners to serve children in schools have expressed a longstanding concern over 'equitable' and 'nondiscriminatory' cognitive assessment for examinees from diverse racial/ethnic/language groups. Although there is much that has been discovered to support best practices, there are some assessment-related concepts that are poorly understood and ill-defined. In addition, alternative assessment and/or test interpretation practices that may be popularly promoted but have serious problems/deficiencies that undermine ethical behavior/best practices. This course will review these issues in detail (as informed by relevant research) and promote future directions that align with ethical and best practices.
