Ethical Issues in Cross-Cultural Assessment
3 Hours/3 CEs
$225 Registration | Early Registration $200 (through Jan. 5th)
Veronica Bordes Edgar, PhD, ABPP, and Beatriz MacDonald Wer, PhD, present a live professional training program on To do or not to do? Ethical issues in cross-cultural assessment in partnership with the American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP).
Issues of equity, justice, inclusion, intersectionality, and diversity impact all clinical psychological and neuropsychological evaluation procedures. From case conceptualization through diagnostic formulations to recommendations and feedback, sociocultural factors can impact outcomes. To practice within the APA ethical guidelines, we must strive to be aware of these factors and how they may interact with the assessment process.
This program will guide how to integrate equity, justice, and inclusion in cross-cultural assessments. Major ethical and legal documents, including the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, and the 21st Century Cures Act, will be covered.
Through case studies, attendees will learn various ways to manage ethical issues. Participants will benefit from a discussion of race-based norms in assessment, learn alternative strategies, and understand the nuances of telehealth services.
