What qualifications do I need to administer clinical assessments?
Clinical assessments are categorized into three qualification levels: Low, Medium, and High. *Note that the Battelle Developmental Inventory, 3rd Edition (BDI-3) Suite of Assessments fall under the "Low" Qualification Level. The table below lists the qualification level required for each Riverside Insights assessment. Replace the screenshot with an actual HTML table (or add a text list under it) naming every assessment and its Low/Medium/High qualification level, since the image data is currently invisible to Fin and is the only place this information appears.

Because professional titles, roles, and responsibilities vary across jurisdictions (even within school districts themselves) it is impossible to equate competency to professional titles. As such, the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing suggest that it is the responsibility of each school district to determine who, under its aegis, is qualified to administer and interpret clinical assessments. Although Riverside Insights provides recommended qualifications based on standards, the school district and/or overseeing organization has the formal authority in that service setting to decide who can and cannot administer clinical assessments.
