[humanser] Diagnostic assessments

[Rebecca Arrowood]

I am in the process of learning braille still. Does a braille note I have audio Belton so I could listen to it in order to administer the questions to my client?

Thanks,

>>> Hi everyone, I am wondering how you all complete paper diagnostic assessments?   I have to use the caapé 5, which is a really good tool but it is a paper assessment and not accessible. I was able to find a preview copy version online by the publisher that surprisingly works with my screen reader so I can use that during session along with my CCTV to record the clients answers.   I have emailed the publisher and I will call Monday asking if they have an alternative or more accessible format available. I am just wondering how everyone house typically complete assessments? Do you have other administrative staff administer the assessment with your client for you?
