I do not have a topic at this time

Hi,

Please advise that I am planning to construct the PP presentation myself. I am requesting a 2-3 page essay with the information necessary to complete the PP. Thank you. Below are the assignment details. 

First, review the scenarios below, and choose the one that corresponds to your concentration area. Each scenario depicts a situation in which a client, student, applicant, or other test taker requires further assessment. You will develop a valid, reliable assessment plan appropriate for the testing situation and test taker. In your presentation, you will describe your assessment plan and explain your choices.

Forensic:

A Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court judge has ordered that two parents, who both seek sole custody of their child, undergo psychological evaluations. Both parents have made strong allegations about each other during court proceedings, each suggesting that the other parent is a danger to the child. For example, during the proceedings, each has described occurrences in which the other parent failed to take care of the child properly due to substance use issues. Both have suggested that the other parent has anger management issues and violent tendencies. Due to the seriousness of the allegations, the judge has ordered both parties to undergo psychological evaluations and submit psychological reports to the court.

Present your assessment plan in a 10 – 12 slide PowerPoint presentation (see Unit 8 Assignment template), addressing each of the following:

• Summarize the reasons for the assessment referral. Feel free to add details to the original scenario description if needed.
• State the main objectives of your assessment plan. You could approach your objectives in multiple ways, depending on what you identify as the main assessment needs in the given situation. Your objectives should include three to five main goals to achieve using the assessment tools.
• Choose three psychological tests from the Mental Measurements Yearbook of Tests in Print database in the Purdue Global Library to assess the test taker. Describe each test in detail, including the construct(s) it measures, the type of scale it uses, the item type(s), the number of items, and other test characteristics.
• Provide evidence-based explanations for each test you chose.
  • Provide evidence that each psychological tool is reliable (e.g., demonstrates test-retest, parallel-forms, alternative forms, split-half, internal consistency, or inter-scorer reliability).
  • Provide evidence from scholarly sources demonstrating that each tool is valid (e.g., evidence of face validity, content validity, criterion-related validity, and construct validity).
• Explain what types of recommendations this assessment plan would allow you to make.
• Describe any limitations to your assessment plan for the assessment purposes.
• Use scholarly sources to support your choices.
• Cite three or more scholarly sources.
