Each offering has been reviewed and approved to meet specific standards required by these organizations.

For more information on CEs, please visit our FAQs section under Programs and Training and then Continuing Education.

What do I need to assess from home?

Whether you have a PC or Mac, you'll need an understanding of national and state guidelines as well as familiarity with video conferencing. Here are links to professional organizations on getting started: ASHA, NASP, AOTA, and APA. You can also view the WPS remote assessment guidelines for information on testing.

Are the standards for assessing remotely changing amid the COVID-19 pandemic?

Yes, states are allowing for expanded use of telemedicine and telehealth services. Practitioners should review their local and state guidelines.

What other assessments can I use to evaluate someone remotely?

You can administer and score the following products, which require no adaptations for remote administration, via the WPS Online Evaluation System: ABAS-3, DP-4, Piers-Harris 3, RCMAS-2, RISE, SCQ, SMALSI, SPM, SPM Quick Tips, SPM-P, SPM-P Quick Tips, SPM-2, SPM-2 Quick Tips, and SRS-2.

For performance tests, do you have data comparing remote administration vs. in-person administration?

Yes, a recent study compared performance on the Clinical Assessment of Pragmatics (CAPs) using remote administration vs. in-person administration, and the results suggest that test scores obtained through administering the CAPs remotely are equivalent to test scores obtained through standardized, in-person administration.
