Assessment Consult Group (ALL LEVELS)

Service Description

When: Every other Friday morning, 9AM Pacific (12 PM Eastern) starting Friday June 7. (Note: the July 5 date may be rescheduled depending on the group member's plans for the US holiday weekend.) Length: 90 minutes Format: One to two cases presentations per meeting. Sign-up in advance. If preferred, you can talk/ask about a general topic (e.g., "can we talk about how to give difficult feedback to parents?") instead of presenting a case. Participants: Limited to 6-8 professionals who want to support each other and grow as clinicians. All levels of testing experience welcome. Best fit for those who see children, teens, and young adults, however, you might also find the group helpful if you see primarily adults with developmental conditions. Cost: $75 per session, paid online in advance as a package ($450 for 6 sessions) Commitment: Membership in the consultation group will be available in 6-session (roughly 3 month) packages. The 3 month commitment will support group cohesion and help with accountability (we're all more likely to make time for something we've already paid for!) Coverage: Wondering what we cover? Here are a few topics we will discuss as we work through cases: * Refining our referral questions and listening for secret questions * Generating hypotheses using research, base rates, and other aspects of the "outside view" * Planning a test battery that is efficient, thorough, and helps provide insight on the "inside view" * Creating strengths-based, solution-focused, empowering case conceptualizations and recs * Communicating complex case conceptualizations in feedbacks (and reports)
