We are seeking volunteers to help with a class exercise! We need parent-child volunteers to work with clinical psychology doctoral students taking a doctoral class (PSYCH 539-Cognitive and Neuropsychological Assessment).
Children must be ages 6 to 16 years. If you volunteer and consent for this class exercise, you will be interviewed to gather brief background information and to assess your child’s adaptive behavior (approximately 60-90 minutes). Your child will be administered two standardized tests, one measuring cognitive ability and one measuring academic achievement (approximately 3-4 hours total). Testing is on the Pullman campus; it can be scheduled after school and can be divided into multiple sessions to accommodate your schedule. All testing would occur before 5 p.m. on Mon/Wed or before 7 p.m. on Tue/Thurs. Testing during your child’s Spring Break is also an option! All practice testing needs to be finished on or around April 9. Parents do not receive a written report but brief oral feedback can be provided once all results are reviewed by the supervisor (by late April). Adult volunteers can also be considered for a similar but different test battery. Note that the testing is a class exercise and not a research project. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact the course instructor, Tammy Barry, Ph.D., at tammy.barry@wsu.edu or call 509-335-1583.
