Abstract

[Because of the nature and importance of the information garnered from assessment, oral and written communication is taking on an increasingly important role in the daily life of the school psychologist. In scenarios that follow, the school psychologists’ task is to explain the data that answer the myriad of questions that parents or an attorney poses in an attempt to address the fears of parents for the future of their child. In either scenario, you are faced with the most daunting and difficult of all tasks that school psychologists face: explaining the results of your evaluation so that the data are useful, clear, understandable, and defensible. Any seasoned school psychologist will tell you that he/she has faced these kinds of situations with trepidation.]
