It is also necessary to document the individual's strengths and to identify needs that result from impairments in specific psychological processes. Accurate diagnosis is fundamental to the development of specialized interventions at home, school, community, and workplace settings.
This workshop will address in details the steps and guidelines required in administering psycho-educational assessments for the diagnosis of LD/ADHD.
A case example will be presented to illustrate to teachers and counselors the assessment process including scores interpretation and implications for intervention.
