Description

In this podcast episode, Dr. David Baker talks with Dr. Jeremy Sharp – The Testing Psychologist – through all the considerations of non-credible effort when testing kids. The research shows that a substantial percentage of kids will show non-credible effort during evaluations, yet very few practitioners are conducting solid effort testing. If you are conducting effort testing, maybe you have questions about what to actually DO with it. If so, this course is for you. Topics covered include:

  • What is non-credible effort?
  • Difference between PVT’s and SVT’s
  • How to interpret non-credible effort
  • Strategies to communicate non-credible effort
