Abstract

Referral sources and parents value the report following a neuropsychological evaluation. Nevertheless, key stakeholders have described pediatric reports as excessive in length and jargon. Recent research indicates that it is possible to modify pediatric neuropsychological reports that result in positive outcomes for key stakeholders and clinicians. Evaluating modified pediatric neuropsychological reports for other providers is necessary. School psychologists are key stakeholders who read and interact with such reports. This study assessed school psychologists' perceptions of a modified pediatric neuropsychological report. Forty-one school psychologists were randomly assigned to read either a traditional or modified version of a pediatric report and provide feedback via survey and qualitative questions. Results revealed that school psychologists' perceptions of a traditional and modified report were not significantly different. Qualitatively, respondents noted a disconnect between recommendations and school systems. These findings suggest that pediatric neuropsychologists can create shorter and more easily understood reports that do not impact the effectiveness for school psychologists. Future research should continue to evaluate perceptions of modified pediatric neuropsychological reports for additional key stakeholders. A better understanding of the disconnect between recommendations and their feasibility in schools, as well as barriers to increased interdisciplinary collaboration, is also essential for client care.

学校心理学家对神经心理学评估报告有效性的看法。
转介方和家长都很重视神经心理学评估后的报告。然而,主要利益相关者认为儿科报告篇幅过长、术语过多。最近的研究表明,修改儿科神经心理学报告可以为主要利益相关者和临床医生带来积极的结果。有必要为其他服务提供者评估修改后的儿科神经心理学报告。学校心理学家是阅读此类报告并与之互动的关键利益相关者。本研究评估了学校心理学家对修改后的儿科神经心理学报告的看法。41 名学校心理学家被随机分配阅读传统或修改版儿科报告,并通过调查和定性问题提供反馈意见。结果显示,学校心理学家对传统报告和修改版报告的看法没有明显差异。在定性方面,受访者指出建议与学校系统之间存在脱节。这些研究结果表明,儿科神经心理学家可以编写更简短、更易于理解的报告,而且不会影响学校心理学家的工作效率。未来的研究应继续评估其他主要利益相关者对修改后的儿科神经心理学报告的看法。更好地理解建议与在学校的可行性之间的脱节,以及加强跨学科合作的障碍,对于客户关怀也是至关重要的。
