Extract

A BASIC assessment for the use of school counsellors involves a multi-modal appreciation of all aspects of the student. This includes the student's Behaviour, Academic skills, Social setting, Intrinsic qualities (e.g. biological factors) and Cognitive processing skills. Assessment approaches and test instruments within each of these five areas are presented. Several case illustrations underline the importance of making a thorough assessment to the generation of intervention strategies.
