Guest guest Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Hi friends.... I am gathering information about the professional qualifications needed to administer triennial testing... The school for 's triennial testing will be doing the following. WIAT II- they are allowing the non-certified long term sub to give test? Does anyone know if at least a minimum professional requirement is needed to administer? SSRS- a social skills assessment...subjective at best since it is a survey...teacher fills out and so does mom CLEF 4 - speech eval...his speech pathologist is giving it but she is moving and will have a long term sub meeting with us until replacement is found Anyone had any success with these test in determining need and creating an apporpriate program? Since longterm sub has taken over special ed component all of 's grades have dropped at least 1 grade. I have a report card from Feb when she started and got one yesterday where ALL grades dropped....Something is not working Any advice?

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Hi Ellen, ina or Tim or Pam will be grat persons to answer at least some of your questions. Inside the WIAT II test manual there may be qualifications described of who can administer. Or perhaps a company that supplies the tests, found on the internet, for example, may be able to supply your answer. Is a school psychologist involved with the testing? If so, they may be able to give you the information you are seeking. You have the right to not sign in agreement for any test. So, if you do not feel the SSRS is appropriate, definitely don't sign in agreement to have him tested with this measurement tool. In my personal opinion, I don't see a problem with a licensed SLP giving the CLEF with someone else later providing services. Frequently test administrators are not those providing services. However, the lack of qualifications of the sub is of concern. Can you access state laws about teacher certification? Information may be on the web under your state department of Education. Is there a school administrator who can help sort out what is causing the drop in grades? Best luck in getting what needs and deserves in a triennial evaluation. :-) WIAT II Hi friends....

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Ellen, The WIAT-II is the Wechsler Individual Achievement Test, Second Edition. It is a standardized psychological test that should be administered by a master's level psychologist, at least. If it is given in the school system, it should be administered by the school psychologist. You mentioned a sub of some kind... did you mean a substitute teacher? ina, mom to Luca and Vinny --- Ellen and Steinbrick wrote: > Hi friends.... > I am gathering information about the professional > qualifications > needed > to administer triennial testing... > The school for 's triennial testing will be > doing the following. > > WIAT II- they are allowing the non-certified long > term sub to give > test? > Does anyone know if at least a minimum professional > requirement is > needed to administer? > > SSRS- a social skills assessment...subjective at > best since it is a > survey...teacher fills out and so does mom > > > CLEF 4 - speech eval...his speech pathologist is > giving it but she is > moving and will have a long term sub meeting > with us until > replacement is found > > Anyone had any success with these test in > determining need and > creating > an apporpriate program? > > Since longterm sub has taken over special ed > component all of 's > grades have dropped at least 1 grade.
