Once the assessment process is complete and results are analyzed and interpreted, counselors have the responsibility to communicate the results to those individuals entitled to the information. Such individuals can include the client, parents (if the examinee is a minor), other professionals involved with the client (i.e., teachers, school administrators, mental health professionals), or other referring entities (employers, organizations). Results are communicated to others only with the explicit permission of the client (or parent, if a minor). Therefore, it is an important aspect of professional practice that counselors are able to communicate assessment results using feedback sessions and written reports.

It is also important to examine the different types of assessment. This week, the focus will be on one of the oldest forms of assessment: intelligence.
