This raw score is the total number of articulation errors. The clients standard score was 60. This provides a means to compare one individual to another based on age and gender.

The assessment holistic approach to understanding what has occurred and currently occurring in the clients life as well as understanding what is considered a priority of treatment for them and their guardian. The assessment begins with the presenting issues asking what brought the client in. The section also covers when the problem started, how long it has been going on, what is the level of intensity of the problems, and how frequently do they occur.

I seek multiple sources of data, when possible from multiple respondents or contexts, to address all components of the referral question. Furthermore, the physical demands of selected measures must align with the client’s visual, auditory, tactile, fine motor, and gross motor abilities. Additionally, the client’s cultural, racial, language, and educational background must be compared to an assessment’s normed group to ensure validity and reliability of the results. I also document behavioral observations from initial phone calls, to the client’s behavior in the waiting room, and throughout the assessment process. During testing, I strive to reduce tension and ensure the best performance by building rapport, providing a quite environment, offering breaks, and utilizing rewards for children as needed. When pertinent to the referral question, I will document an intentional break in protocol to gather qualitative data regarding the client’s reasoning, strengths, or weaknesses. When formulating a diagnosis I carefully consider my numerous data sources and conduct a detailed differential diagnosis. I also strive to provide evidence based and relevant recommendations that are accessible to the

Most scientists, researchers and health care professionals understand the importance of being able to employ effective basic strategies for evaluation after a specific strategy has been employed be it in a research project or in clinical work.

Therapists need to engage in collaborative dialogue with clients to understand their preferences about what worked or did not work, for them previously, in order to help resolve their issues and move forward (Cooper & McLeod, 2011). Collaborative assessment and case formulation, which allows clients and therapists to work collaboratively to understand how clients presenting issues can inform interventions, are ongoing (Kuyken, Padesky & Dudley, 2008) and enable therapists to reach clients in their own world, from which growth and change can ensue. Collaborative assessment is therapeutic as it helps clients focus on the impact of certain behaviour which can lead to insight and therapists can use their own life experiences and current perceptions

Sheperis, Young, and Davis (2017) explained how the counseling profession often view research studies as unneeded and having no place to the clinical setting. However, counselors have realized the importance of research and therefore use it more readily in the field today.

It provides benefits for psychologists; like launching point understanding the patients and their communication skills, it is filled out by the patients or caregivers. It is reviewed by the clinician prior to interviewing the patient. Beneficial in foreseeing those areas that will require assessment. And also case history informations can be used to detect those things that need further clarification in the course of the interview. It can help the clinician preselect those examination materials,tools and procedures before the session starts. On the other hand, there are limitations or disadvantages for the case history data. Firstly, respondent may not comprehend all the terminology, clinician must take into consideration the readability. There may be an inadequate amount of time to fill the whole form.It takes time to complete this out and get the required information like dates of disease,surgeries.

Case data history influences the correctness of the knowledge or information and not every respondent will have an equal amount of knowledge on the client’s background or communication skills.
