Administer & Score Digital Assessments: Conduct standardized test batteries remotely using digital platforms (e.g., Q-interactive) and accurately enter subtest scores and psychometric data into the EMR.
Engage Patients & Capture Observations: Build quick rapport with pediatric clients over video, manage attention and fatigue during sessions, and document precise behavioral observations regarding effort, affect, and testing validity.
Provide Tech & Caregiver Guidance: Orient families to the virtual testing setup (webcams, audio, digital interfaces) and troubleshoot basic connectivity or software issues smoothly.
Collaborate Interdisciplinarily: Partner closely with supervising neuropsychologists on battery selection, testing modifications, and timely report compliance.
What Makes You, You
Assessment Expertise: Direct experience administering and scoring core standardized instruments (WISC‑V, WIAT‑IV, K-TEA 3, NEPSY II, D‑KEFS, etc.).
Telehealth Savvy: Proficient in navigating EMRs, HIPAA‑compliant video platforms, and digital assessment software.
