VOCATIONAL ASSESSMENTS

1 and 2-DAY VOCATIONAL ASSESSMENTS

FACTS offers a 1 or 2-Day Vocational Assessment providing paper/pencil testing that includes vocational/occupational interests, achievement grade levels (vocabulary, reading comprehension, math, and spelling) and cognitive/general learning ability. This assessment is most appropriate for a client with a high school education or higher, with minimal physical problems. The work pace of the client will determine if all requested testing can be completed in one or two days.

3- DAY VOCATIONAL ASSESSMENT & WORK SAMPLING EVALUATION

A 3-Day Vocational Assessment provides more in-depth paper and pencil as well as hands-on testing that includes occupational interests, academic levels (vocabulary, reading comprehension, math, and spelling), general learning abilities, personality and various career aptitudes. This assessment is appropriate when a client has not had the benefit of much formal education, and has little to no pain or physical limitation. Hands-on work samples, in addition to written psychometrics, are utilized to determine aptitudes, dexterity, and identify transferable work skills.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Question: What assessment is most appropriate for this individual?

Answer: Do not hesitate to call your local Vocational Evaluator to consult with them.

To answer basic questions involving achievement/education grade levels, vocational interests, and cognitive/general learning ability, the utilization of a 1-Day or 2-Day Vocational Assessment is adequate.

When the client is not physically limited, yet is limited English-speaking or is in need of a number of hands-on work samples, our 3-Day Vocational Assessment & Work Sampling Evaluation is more appropriate.

When an individual has nominal physical challenges they are able to generally remain productive throughout the day, yet need an identification of skill and aptitude levels, our 5-Day Work Evaluation will typically be sufficient.

When an individual has sustained a significant injury, and physical tolerances or stamina is in question, it is important to establish the client's feasibility to participate in full-time employment. In this case, our 10-Day Complete Work Evaluation is the more appropriate referral.

Question: What if I have questions about the report or services I receive?

Answer: It is always a good practice to telephone the Evaluator with any questions you have. Attending an exit conference is always helpful. However, you can typically send clients back for an additional evaluation or further clarifying testing, generally at no charge.

Question: Can you conduct assessments for clients that have difficulty speaking English?

Answer: Our centers have staff that is bilingual in Spanish. Additionally, the use of hands-on work samples at all of our centers allows us to provide testing with individuals that cannot speak English. We also have many test instruments in Spanish. Armenian and Vietnamese-speaking staff are also available at some of our centers.
