About Delivering Psycho-educational Evaluation Results To
Product Description Delivering Psycho-educational Evaluation Results to Parents presents a concrete and adaptable Feedback Model that efficiently communicates complex evaluation results to parents in an easily understandable manner. The book discusses a model rooted in basic learning principles, effective communication practices, and practitioner empathy towards the parent experience of the home-school relationship, hinging upon practitioners and parents jointly creating a permanent product of the evaluation results during the feedback process. It provides early career school psychologists with a parent-friendly Feedback Model that can be adapted to their school-based setting. The text includes specific verbiage to explaining constructs in the cognitive, achievement, visual-motor, and social-emotional domains, along with considerations in application to working with diverse populations. The text is intended for school psychologists and professionals who complete psycho-educational evaluations for special education eligibility. More specifically, the text is envisioned to support the graduate training of school psychologists and the professional development of early career professionals in the field. Review "One of the challenges in teaching school psychology practice is to prepare graduate students how to become proficient in delivering evaluation results to parents in a way that answers the questions they have, provides clinically significant, meaningful, replicable data, and is delivered in a way that embodies empathy and conveys hopefulness for improvement in the next phase of their child’s educational career. In this text, DeMatteo offers a scaffolding process that can be used to launch novice school psychology students and practitioners into confident, helpful, humane, change agents. This book reduces the mystery as to why some feedback sessions are considered successes and others – much less so – in order for those learning the process to have a formula to follow when they need the most structure. I believe that trainers will find this book incredibly useful in structuring the process of delivering data to parents in a digestible and predicable way for students, and that students will rely upon this model to give them confidence in preparing and then delivering evaluation report data at feedback meetings." Laura M. Crothers, D.Ed., NCSP, Rev. Martin A. Hehir, C.S.Sp. Endowed Chair in Scholarly Excellence, Associate Dean for Graduate Studies and Research, School of Education, and Professor of School Psychology, Department of Counseling, Psychology, and Special Education, Duquesne University "Francis DeMatteo makes the point that the evaluation process does not end with generating a report and that, in fact, it is actually the starting point for a very complicated, emotionally laden, and potentially long-term relationship with parents. By using the framework, he espouses that the practitioner should be able to clearly convey evaluation results to the family with care and compassion while also reducing parental feelings of being overwhelmed with data and outnumbered by school staff. This book is a must read for all interning school psychologists." R.M. Deguffroy, PsyD, certified school psychologist "Sharing psycho-educational results with parents in a meaningful and understandable way is critical for several reasons. At times though, our best summaries and recommendations are lost in translation. Dr. Francis DeMatteo has written a must-read primer for school psychologists and other mental health professionals: Delivering Psycho-educational Evaluation Results to Parents: A Practitioner's Model. Read this book, and you will find ways to share your findings through a concrete and parent-friendly model that can be adapted to many settings. We plan to incorporate Dr. DeMatteo's book in our school psychology program curriculum!" Richard VanVoorhis, DEd, NCSP, Program Director, School Psychology Program, and Assoc
