Telepsychological Assessment

Meeting and assessing the needs of all learners in an online environment can be challenging, particularly for students who are deaf, hard of hearing, blind, or visually impaired (D/HH or B/VI).

This module is designed to provide school psychologists and district and building leaders with what they need to build comfort and confidence in virtually assessing all learners, particularly those who are D/HH and B/VI.
