How to Explain Testing Results to Kids

Virtual, Jan 20, 2022 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM

This is the first session of a three-part series on giving assessment feedback. Each session is stand-alone, but they all share a central theme. Dr. Nikel Rogers-Wood will moderate this series.

Presenter(s): Dr. Liz Angoff

Please join Dr. Liz Angoff, author of the Brain Building Book, for a session on how to explain testing results to kids. 

Talking to kids about testing results can be tricky!  Few clinicians are trained how to do it, so many don’t.

Yet, when kids don’t know the reason for their struggles, they tend to develop their own ideas, often quite negative ones. Through assessments, clinicians have the power to help kids rewrite these narratives. 

In this presentation, you will learn specific language, tools, and strategies for helping kids understand their testing results and their diagnosis in an engaging, positive, and empowering way.  

This session offers sign language interpretation. To view the sign language interpreter, please join on a desktop computer and not a mobile device.

Eligible for 1 CE credit.*

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

• Learn four key elements for providing effective feedback to children.
• Become familiar with tools and handouts to guide the feedback process.
• Gain specific language for talking about differences and disabilities with children.
• Develop strategies for involving and supporting parents in the feedback process.
