Amethyst Piano Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Anyone know of a place that helps with interpreting all these test scores from a NP evaluation? I've tried googling without much success. I am looking at all of these numbers trying to figure out what they really mean. I already had my hour meeting with the NP for results, but I still have so many questions now that I can actually see some of these numbers. Some areas that seem low to me don't seem to have been discussed in the results/diagnosis at all? But maybe they don't mean what I think they mean!

Tokyomarie Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 If you would like a professional to help you navigate the implications of the testing you've received, one type of professional that can help is an educational therapist. An ET who is a member of the Association of Educational Therapists has training in helping parents understand test results as well as prioritizing interventions. He/she can also implement interventions and assist parents in implementing home-based interventions as well. The AET website has a directory of professionals you can check out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
displace Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Davidson gifted forums has a test score area with a couple of testers that help interpret results. I've seen all sorts of scores reported there that people help with, not just gifted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wow, that's really interesting. I didn't even know there was such a thing, but I can see this being a huge help for some situations. We don't have any located anywhere near to us, but I'm glad to know about them. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimson Wife Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Not all ed therapists are registered with AETA. Some are independent and others are members of the Academic Language Therapy Association. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokyomarie Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 ALTA's term for their certified members is "Certified Academic Language Therapist." While the CALT competencies overlap the AET Board Certified Educational Therapist (BCET)competencies to some degree, the scope of practice for a CALT is somewhat narrower than for an ed therapist. The other organization that uses the term Educational Therapist is NILD. Their fully certified members are referred to as Professionally Certified Educational Therapists (PCET) and the model of Ed Therapy is referred to as "NILD Educational Therapy" which is a registered trademark. It gets a bit confusing because there are several organizations which serve the LD population through 1:1 and/or small group academic/educational therapy, but it is important to look closer at how each organization defines its practice to determine what kind of therapist will best serve the need. (Sorry, that bit above is a diversion from the main response) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
