Description

In this timely course, Dr. Jeremy Sharp interviews Dr. Jordan Wright about the recently published “Guidance on Psychological Tele-Assessment During the COVID-19 Crisis”.  Their discussion begins with a discourse on Jordan’s research on tele-assessment and his involvement in developing remote methods for both the Woodcock-Johnson and the WISC. The conversation then turns to a review of the six guiding principles for conducting remote assessments. If you’ve read the principles, you’ll have some familiarity with the concepts, but Jordan really brings them to life through this discussion. This is a great partner episode to the discussion with Dr. Susie Raiford about remote assessment of the WISC in the course Remote Administration of the WISC-V & KTEA-III.
