Criterion Feedback

Open your Turnitin report and see where I wrote "111" to catch your attention as I graded that part for this domain. Please open up your Turnitin report side-by-side w/this rubric so that I you can review the correlations of my feedback. Everything you wrote is correct but need to add in a topic sentence to declare if you felt confident about his test scores as a whole. A sample writing is: Throughout the process of compiling all tests related to Arthur, I am content there is a high level of confidence level displayed thus Cohen & Swerdlik (2018) stated that when.... NOTE: you can have a low or high confidence level as long as your rationalize it w/a citation source to support and defend it. For example, in court cases I have read clinical reports where a psychologist has a low confidence level in the test results but there is a rationalization to justify it. They will note impeding issues and uncontrollable external stressors that makes the test results questionable (ie. ongoing domestic violence thus child always shows up late to assessment sessions, some tests are also incomplete but needs to be finished and concluded for scoring).

Conclusions: Common Themes/Contradictions

8 points

Identifies common themes among the test results, observations, and background history; attempts to reconcile contradictory information and provides supporting detail

6 points

Identifies common themes among the test results, observations, and background history; attempts to reconcile contradictory information, but response lacks detail or is incomplete

0 points

Does not identify common themes among the test results, observations, and background history; no attempt to reconcile contradictory information

Criterion Feedback

Open your Turnitin report and see where I wrote "222" to catch your attention as I graded that part for this domain. Everything you wrote for this domain is correct but I noticed you did not fulfill these prompt questions: **In your response, relate the results to the referral question. What information in your data is most relevant to your referral question?" All of these unanswered prompts needs to be fulfilled as it will be asked and regraded on 7-2 again. I look forward to your revisions on the 7-2 Final.

Conclusions: Reliability/Validity

8 points

Summarizes potential limitations of the testing as it relates to reliability/validity of the data obtained and suggests additional assessments

6 points

Provides a summary of the reliability/validity of the data obtained, but response is illogical and/or suggestions for additional assessments are inaccurate

0 points

Does not summarize potential limitations of the testing as it relates to reliability/validity of the data obtained or suggest additional assessments

Criterion Feedback

Open your Turnitin report and see where I wrote "333" to catch your attention as I graded that part for this domain. What you wrote for this domain is incorrect. The "limitations" should solely focus on all of his 7 tests as a whole, not the observation. Observations are uncontrollable but necessary to get a natural look at his behaviors in class. You need to revise the writings for this domain to focus on how the reliability/validity is threatened then also needed offer a complimentary assessment to be added. The additional 8th assessment recommendation would compliment all of his current 7 tests as doing so shows that you are trying to reduce the limitations of an error rate when it comes to validity/reliability. Any fitting assessment would be doable so please fulfill this element on 7-2. Additional assessments for a child like Arthur includes: Vineland, Beck's Anxiety Inventory, etc. 

Conclusions: Evidence

8 points

Relates logical, evidence-supported conclusions to the presenting issue, background, observations, and test results in order to inform diagnosis

6 points

Relates conclusions to the presenting issue, background, observations, and test results, but response is not backed by evidence or logic

0 points

Does not relate conclusions to the presenting issue, background, observations, or test results

Open your Turnitin report and see where I wrote "444" to catch your attention as I graded that part for this domain. All of your writings are correct but you need to close out this domain by formally diagnosing him. Please kindly go inside our DB: General Questions forum and find my thread titled "6-2: Milestone 3" as I provided diagnoses for you to chose from and how to formally write out the diagnosis you chose for your case.

Recommendations: Justify

16 points

Explains whether current level of testing is sufficient or not and justifies recommendations for future assessments

12 points

Explains whether current level of testing is sufficient or not, but response is not thorough and does not justify recommendations for future assessments

0 points

Does not explain whether current level of testing is sufficient or not; does not justify recommendations

Criterion Feedback

Open your Turnitin report and see where I wrote "555" to catch your attention as I graded that part for this domain. Both of your paragraphs also have the correct writing premise for this domain but need to add in a declared topic statement if you believe there is enough data to move forward now and start making clinical recommendations of a treatment plan. Your home and school-based interventions are correct but you also need to add in an intervention for Arthur. NOTE: I noticed you did not indicate any treatments for Arthur, because he is the child it is suggested that he gets clinical intervention as well. Such as start individual therapy, group therapy, etc.

Recommendations: Evidence-Based Practice

16 points

Clearly relates recommendations to current and relevant research

12 points

Relates recommendations to current and relevant research, but response lacks clarity and succinctness and fails to support with relevant and current research

0 points

Does not relate recommendations to current and relevant research

Criterion Feedback

NOTE: this domain reinforces that your previous family- and school-based recommendations are proven to be effective, will now be executed in a treatment plan and supported by "evidence-based practices." Evidenced-based practices means that a research intervention/study that has been consistently proven to be effective even when rendered across multiple cultural demographics, a theoretical counseling approach, etc. For example, if you recommended that Arthur participate in individual therapy (in the domain above), then in this domain you would identify what counseling theory he should participate on and what specific interventions. For example, an "evidenced-based practice" is like a teacher only uses positive communication therefore Arthur responds well to this communication style, and improves on his behaviors. Then you would need to cite a source to defend that communication style has an impact on schoolchildren.

Open your Turnitin report and see where I wrote "777" to catch your attention as I graded that part for this domain. You had a good premise but forgot to answer the 1st prompt of: *reflect on the process and work you did to create this report. For this domain you are now reflecting on the whole scaffolding milestone process from 2-2 to now 6-2 and what kind of experience you had to build this essay. For example: did it require a lot of critical thinking skills, precise attention to details, finding a particular theme about his behaviors which was then solidified through his psych testing scores, etc.

Reflection: Client Information

Open your Turnitin report and see where I wrote "888" to catch your attention as I graded that part for this domain. You are correct that if we had info on his hobbies we would be able to help him channel his stressors. But you need to write how you would go on about obtaining info about his hobbies. Would you ask him questions? Have him tell you? Or write out his hobbies? If so, need to list what you would do in literal steps (i.e. schedule a meeting at his house to meet him).

Reflection: Process

10 points

Provides clear examples of insights or learning gained through the report-writing process; includes examples of areas for further study

7.5 points

Provides examples of insights or learning gained through the report-writing process, but response lacks clarity and/or omits examples of areas for further study

Criterion Feedback

I appreciate all of the hard work and time put into 6-2. As a courtesy download your Turnitin report and see my blue penmanship on your paper for review. Keep in mind that my feedback on your Turnitin reports are written in good faith and is highly recommended to be integrated onto our 7-2 Final. Doing so would help your 7-2 to be more polished so that you may reap all the possible points. To prepare you for 7-2, it is recommended that students use each rubric domain as the subheading as it holds you accountable in writing out the content and fulfilling the domain. And then on my end, I can see each subheading matches up to the 7-2 Final rubrics for correlative grading purposes. Doing so allows you and I to be on the same page to deter misgraded elements since 7-2 is worth 1/3 of your grade. HINT: on 7-2's prompt look at the first left box of each row as this is the domain's title. Just copy it and use it as the subheading titles throughout 7-2. And if you need more support go inside our DB: General Questions forum and see my thread titled "7-2: Final milestone" which was posted earlier this week. I broken down how to format the subheaders and provided additional guidance.
