Question

11. You are a new school counselor at an elementary school with a diverse population. The principal has already informed you that you will be receiving several requests from teachers to conduct ADHD screenings on some of their students. However, when you look through the provided assessment materials, you discover that they were normed on a sample of individuals who are predominantly European Americans from the Midwestern states. How should a counselor who is assessing a client not represented in the instrument’s norming group proceed? What factors should be taken into consideration?
