Rules or No Rules: Informal Assessment Tools and Norm-Referenced Tests

How do we get a fuller picture of a client beyond test scores?

Discover how informal assessments and norm-referenced tests can be integrated into the assessment procedure to give you a more comprehensive understanding of your clients. From interviews and observations to rating scales and anecdotes, learn how each tool contributes to the assessment process—and how to make the most of their strengths and limitations.

You'll also get to put your learning into practice through our workshop activity on Developing a Psychological Assessment Battery, where you'll apply best practices to build a robust, well-rounded assessment plan that can be used in both clinical and educational settings.

Join us and discover how the right selection of assessment tools can help you see beyond the scores and better understand the person behind them!
