NAAPTC Assessment Procedure
1. Receive the referral from Dr. Glezerman
2. Call the referral source and discuss the referral question and the best way to contact the Client.
3. Review the chart for relevant information - it will save time during the interview.
4. Call the Client and schedule an appointment. If there is a "no show", give two more appointments and warn both the Client and the referral source that, if 3 appointments are missed, the case will be put to the back of the waiting list.
5. Discuss the test battery with Dr. Glezerman.
6. Administer the diagnostic interview and the test battery.
7. Score the tests and write the report draft. The first draft is due within a month from receiving the referral, unless there are some special circumstances.
8. Discuss the draft with Dr. Glezerman. Make sure you attach complete test data to your draft (i.e. the scores for all tests which have normative data and verbatim responses for all projectives).
9. Write the final report.
10. Give the final version to Dr. Glezerman for review.
11. Provide the feedback to the referral source and discuss what and how of the feedback to the Client. Try to arrange for the therapist to be present at the feedback session.
12. Provide feedback to the Client.
13. Put the original report, the consent form, releases and medical records in the chart. Make sure all your notes are co-signed. Put the raw test data, a summary of test results and a copy of your report in a folder in the locked testing cabinet.
14. Relax! You are finished with the case.
