While selection and administration of assessment measures is important, it is the interpretation, integration, and sharing of data that directly lead to program development. Test scores can be useful with careful interpretation and when considered in conjunction with other relevant information gathered through observations, interviews, record reviews, etc. The information gathered during the assessment process is used to create a comprehensive snapshot of the student's current strengths and challenges.
This section lists resources for interpreting and integrating assessment results, including (a) defining key terms, (b) interpreting data in a family-friendly manner, and (c) writing reports that integrate data across disciplines.
