“I feel much more confident in my interpretation if I predicted it in advance.”
Dr. Joel Schneider is back for another episode with his characteristic blend of humor, storytelling, and clinical acumen. Today, we’re talking about “robust interpretation practices” – Joel’s term for being diligent and mindful of test construction, score distribution, base rates, and other often-overlooked factors as we interpret our assessment data. Like with his previous episode, there is just so much good info to take away from this episode (you may want to listen twice)!

I’m a licensed psychologist and Clinical Director at the Colorado Center for Assessment & Counseling, a private practice that I founded in 2009 and grew to include nine licensed clinicians, three clinicians in training, and a full administrative staff. I earned my undergraduate degree in Experimental Psychology from the University of South Carolina before getting my Master’s and PhD in Counseling Psychology from Colorado State University. These days, I specialize in psychological and neuropsychological evaluation with kids and adolescents.

I live in Fort Collins, Colorado with my wife (also a therapist) and two young kids.
