Your  initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until  Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates.

In this interactive assignment, you will create a story for  children to educate them about psychological assessment. To begin,  select a targeted developmental or reading level pre-K through grade 6.  Review the elements required for each section of your storybook below.  Visit the Storybird website (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. to familiarize yourself with this technology. You may review the Storybird Quick-Start Guide (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. for additional assistance with using this platform.

Your username will become the professional author name for your book.  Therefore, when you register for your Storybird account it is  recommended that you use the following format for your username: first  initial followed by last name (e.g., JSmith). If you receive a message  that your username has been taken, it is recommended you include your  middle initial (e.g., JASmith). Do not use Internet handles and/or other  unprofessional appearing pseudonyms.

Review the information in Chapter 5 of your textbook corresponding to  the assessments appropriate for the age group you selected and review  the Mental Health Assessment (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.  (2013) article for examples of information provided to the public about  psychological testing. You may choose any appropriate title for your  story. Be sure to address each of the following questions in your  storybook in an age-appropriate manner:

  • Why is the character in the story being referred for testing?
  • Who will conduct the assessment?
  • What is being measured?
  • How long will testing take?
  • Who will be present during the assessment process? If not in the  room, where will parents and/or guardians be while the character in the  story is being tested?
  • How will the results be used? Who will have access to the results  (e.g., medical doctor, family, the court, teachers), and why? This will  vary depending on the character and plot in your story.
  • How will the tests be taken?
  • What will be the outcome of the assessment? How will the information  be used? How might this information impact the life of the character in  your story?

Include content to address any developmentally appropriate fears that  individuals of the age group you selected may have. For example, young  children commonly associate going to the doctor with getting a shot.

Be sure to include all the required material from the instructions  above in your online storybook. Once you have created your storybook,  include the link in your initial post. In your initial post, note the  age or grade level for the target audience of the story. Briefly analyze  and comment on the challenges and benefits related to explaining  psychological assessment concepts using language that is developmentally  appropriate for children. Compare at least two assessment instruments  used to assess intelligence or achievement for the age group you  selected. Include in-text citations and references for all sources used.

Note: It is highly recommended you complete all written work in a  separate document first and then cut and paste the required content into  your online storybook. This will allow you to edit and save your work  separately from the online storybook, should any technical failures  occur. This approach will also allow you to work on your content without  having to remain connected to the Internet, which will make it easier  to develop and edit your content prior to publishing it to your online  storybook.

If you experience any technical difficulties, please visit the Storybird Help Center (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.. The technical support offered through your Student Portal will not be able to assist you with the Storybird website.

Guided Response: Review several of your colleagues’  posts and respond substantively to at least two of your peers by 11:59  p.m. on Day 7 of the week. You are encouraged to post your required  replies earlier in the week to promote more meaningful interactive  discourse. Do you agree that the language used in the storybook is  developmentally appropriate for the age group chosen? Is the content  regarding the assessment process accurate? What other ethical or  professional issues related to testing children from the chosen age  group would you recommend be included? Continue to monitor the forum  until 5:00 p.m. Mountain Standard Time (MST) on Day 7 of the week and  respond to anyone who replies to your initial post.
