- Book Synopsis
- The book examines the preparation and presentation of psychological data reports for various stakeholders (e.g., teachers, parents, caregivers). It details strategies for clear and effective prose and visuals that reach beyond the narrative and emphasize data integration. Chapters are organized around specific themes contained in the overall report and its sections (e.g., cognitive, achievement, social/emotional/personality) as well as the process of data reporting, its description, and eventual communication to consumers. The volume addresses the rationale for and considerations important to carrying out this mission, including reporting and explaining data obtained from English language learners (ELLs). It provides examples of sample data sets, detailing how to apply and illustrate these principles and reflect contemporary data interpretation. In addition, the book provides checklists as well as appendices, and tables that should be considered when preparing reports. The book discusses the processes and mechanics of integrating data within and across sections of reports, thereby providing alternatives to strictly boilerplate reports as well as practical recommendations that can be readily implemented to benefit students. Key areas of coverage include: Preparing psychological reports for all stakeholders. Data presentations for lay audiences. Contemporary data reporting not driven by a boilerplate. Illustrations of data integration and customized prose. Generating intervention recommendations for students using descriptive data. Tailoring the writing process to create defensible reports for school, clinical, and neuropsychological referrals. This volume is an essential resource for researchers, professors, graduate students as well as clinicians, therapists, and other professionals in developmental, clinical child and school psychology, educational assessment, testing, and evaluation, social work, public health and all interrelated disciplines.
