[QUOTE="Martie, post: 56042, member: 284"] I agree with all that Sheila said. A predoc intern is LIKELY to be better trained (and supervised) than many school psychologists trained years ago at the master's level. Also, the licensed psychologist who signed as supervisor is putting his/her license on the line if there is a major error, so I would not be prejudiced vs the evaluation due to the predoc status of the evaluator. This person has had at least 4 years of graduate work. On the other hand, anyone can be wrong, including the supervisor who signed the report. Read carefully, check the references Sheila gave you, and develop a list of specific questions you have BEFORE the meeting. Make sure that all of them are answered--don't "wing it" by just listening to them talk. You have to be proactive to get the questions that are important to you answered. It is usually easier to think BEFORE a meeting than during it. Martie [/QUOTE]
