Calling all new Educational Diagnosticians! Are you new to the field (or just returning to the field and feel you need support)? ESC Region 11 has a new Educational Diagnostician Academy that will be focused on understanding the role of a diagnostician. We will look at evaluation, ARD documentation, and the logistics of becoming a competent diagnostician. This session will also encourage the development of a network of peers throughout the region. The focus of this session will be on a basic understanding of CHC theory, classroom applications, and discussing cognitive assessment results in your evaluation reports.
