Trainees are exposed to all aspects of the assessment process, including the clinical interview, administration of various psychometric tests, scoring and interpreting test results, drafting initial test reports, and communicating results to clients, families, teachers, etc.

Trainees may gain experience with a variety of assessment types, including psychoeducational, personality or emotional/behavioral, and neuropsychological. Typical cases include ADHD and learning disabilities, and emotional/behavioral disorders in children and adolescents.

Trainees will have the opportunity to work with young children through late teens. Primary training sites will be in Boston-area public charter schools, from 5th to 12th grade.

Regular supervision is provided through scheduled weekly times and on an as-needed basis. 

This is an unpaid training opportunity. The program is open to individuals of appropriate background and training (e.g., enrollment in masters or doctoral programs in psychology). Trainees may be involved in formal practica through their respective schools, seeking externships, seeking hours toward licensure, or simply looking for experience to enrich their resumes.

Trainees are expected to commit to work at minimum 16 – 20 hours, with some of that time spent in direct service onsite and some spent scoring and writing offsite.

In addition, each trainee can expect to produce at least one test report per week. Specific days required will be based on the trainee’s assigned work site (a topic to be reviewed in more detail during interviews). 

To apply, please send CV and cover letter to Stacy Horner, Ph.D., at shorner@psych-assess.com. Interviews for the next training year will be held in January at a date to be confirmed later.
