PRACTICE TOOLBOX: CHILD ASSESSMENT
As a social worker, you must be familiar with a range of evidence-based assessment tools to use in practice with many different populations. Some are quite broad, used for screening and initial assessment, while others are more specialized and related to distinct symptoms. Your Assignments in Weeks 3–6 focus on gaining familiarity with these assessment tools for each age group.
In this Assignment, you analyze one child assessment tool, explaining why it might be especially helpful for this population and the challenges that might exist in its use.
TO PREPARE
Access the Learning Resources for the assessment tool often used with children: the NICHQ Vanderbilt Assessment
Explore the assessment tool.
Consider why you have chosen this assessment tool and its strengths and limitations.
Submit a 1 full page paper analyzing the child assessment tool you have chosen:
Why did you select the assessment tool?
Why might it be especially helpful for use with children?
What challenges or limitations might there be for this assessment tool?
