| Abstract: | The pressures of PL 94-142 have caused many school systems to contract with in dependent psychodiagnostic clinics for differential assessments and educational recommendations, These clinics, and the contracting school systems, must ensure accountable and efficient service delivery, typically accomplished through program evaluation. Program evaluation at Syracuse University's Psychoeducational Teaching Laboratory entails process and product formative and summative evaluations, respectively. Clinic program evaluation, in general, should be discussed during contract negotiations with prospective consultees, should be individually tailored to consultees' referral problems, and should make efficient use of consultation time. An example of a program evaluation completed at the Psychoeducational Teaching Laboratory is presented. |
