Course summary
The world-renowned eminent neuropsychologist Dr.Cecil Reynolds will discuss his assessment tool the Adolescent and Adult Second Edition (DTVP-A: 2) Visual Motor Efficiency Index (VME) as a replacement for the Symbol Digit Modalities Test for testing of processing speed. This test is on the The SASC Test Evaluation Committee (STEC) approved listing to replace the Symbol Digit Modalities Test.

Description
The webinar will address the concept of cognitive processing speed and explain the concept and how to assess it. Processing speed will be defined and described primarily from the perspective of Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) theory. Use of the SASC approved Developmental Test of Visual Perception: Adolescent and Adult Second Edition (DTVP-A: 2) Visual Motor Efficiency Index (VME) will be featured but several other approaches will be mentioned briefly. Correlates of processing speed will be reviewed and implications for dealing with low levels of processing speed discussed.
Armande Fryatt from the SASC STEC committee will attend the Q and A session to answer any questions regarding SASC issues.
Liz Horobin - Professional Practice Team Lead Patoss, and Caroline Read - Founder & Senior Course Tutor Communicate-ed, will answer questions regarding Access Arrangements issues.
The Cattell–Horn–Carroll (CHC) theory, will be explained and related to present academic understanding of processing speed and how these theories are related to practice in terms of administering the test. Cecil Reynolds will then explain how the test was designed to incorporate these theories, and how to administer the test to correctly identify the students processing speed. He will explain the must up to date research regarding the measurement of processing speed including the qualitative observations.
