If using an onsite facilitator who is not in a professional role (e.g., parent/guardian), the examiner should use their professional judgment about the capacity of the facilitator to perform the required functions correctly and without interfering in the testing session. If the onsite facilitator is a well-trained professional, telepractice can involve the entire test as per usual.ĭuring the COVID-19 pandemic, however, the only facilitator available may be someone in the examinee’s home. The available options for administering the KTEA–3 via telepractice vary based on the role of the onsite facilitator. Details regarding Q-global and how it is used are provided on the Q-global product page. Specifically, Q-global digital assets (e.g., stimulus books) can be shown via the screen-sharing features of teleconference platforms to an examinee in another location. The Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement–Third Edition (KTEA–3 Kaufman & Kaufman, 2014) can be administered in a telepractice context by using digital tools from Q-global®, Pearson’s secure online-testing platform. Text, pictures, and video can be shared through the teleconference platform. The examiner and examinee can see and hear one another throughout the session. Using a high-speed internet connection and a secure software platform designed for web-based meetings (i.e., teleconference platform), an examiner and examinee-along with a facilitator in the examinee location, if necessary-join a shared web-based meeting via computers with audio and video capability. A telepractice session includes an examiner in one geographical location and an examinee at a different location.
