PSY 636 PSY636Assignment 8-1: PSYCHOLOGICAL REPORT.docx – Snhu

The administration of psychological assessments including the reporting of the results at the conclusion of the process requires a clear demonstration of whether or not the individual assessed possesses a disorder, as well as a definitive diagnosis, is made. Although the tests or assessment tools being administered are chosen based upon the particular needs of each individual patient, all psychological reports must include a summary of the tests administered and scores received, a clear explanation of the diagnosis being made, strategy and treatment recommendations as well as considerations for educational services, if applicable (Flanagan & Caltabiano, 2010). The precision of a patient’s psychological report is imperative in order to sustain clarity and consistency in the treatment process as it could be shared with additional providers or outside parties who may also be sharing in the care of the patient.

Treatment PlanThe content of Sally Sample’s psychological report explains that she was referred for testing due to consistently demonstrating decreased performance in her academics as well as difficulty with managing anger since receiving a diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) five years prior. The collective results of this most current assessment display Sally’s evident impairments with visual discrimination, mental construction, inhibition of impulses, perceptual accuracy, executive functioning, and socioemotional functioning, although maintains positive behavior and affect throughout the evaluation process (Strang, 2009). Sally’s report proposes that cognitively she is functioning at an age-appropriate level with the presence of consistent impairments across her socioemotional functioning, therefore indicating an apparent level of depression. Based upon Sally’s present levels of need, it would be essential to implement a school-based intervention program to aid in increasing her success within the school setting (Evans et al., 2016).
