Improving the Coordination of School Psychological Assessment Involving Monolingual and Bilingual Psychologists Who Work with Language Minority Children.
Camacho, Luis E.
A problem exists in the lack of assessment coordination between monolingual psychologists and bilingual psychologists when working with language minority children referred for evaluation of special needs. This practicum was designed to improve the psychological assessment coordination between monolingual English psychologists and the bilingual psychologist. The practicum involved development of assessment coordination guidelines to be utilized by monolingual English psychologists and bilingual psychologists, design and presentation of a workshop explaining the model to school psychologists, creation of a log to record incoming referrals of children suspected of being language minority, and conducting conferences during which the monolingual English psychologist and bilingual psychologist would determine their respective roles in the assessment process based on the coordination assessment guidelines. Analysis of data revealed that psychologists increased their participation in the evaluation process and they were better prepared to participate in the multidisciplinary team process. Appendices include a coordination assessment form, referral log, and questionnaire on psychological assessment of language minority children. (Contains 32 references.) (JDD)
