A girl of six years was referred for an Educational Psychology Assessment. Jane (not her real name) was currently in Year 1, but according to her chronological age should have been in Year 2.

As an active user of a revolutionary digital system Q-interactive™ you are able to access the world’s most advanced assessment tools anywhere, anytime. When we were creating Q-interactive we wanted to give you a simple and interactive system which would make the test administration process more engaging and personal, adding flexibility and efficiency to the way you approach specific tests and do reporting, as well as to help you save your precious time.

Today’s educational (as well as clinical, neuro and forensic) psychologists are under pressure to deliver high quality assessments to parents, schools and professionals, and need to plan their consultations and interventions with schools, young people, parents and other adults very carefully. They also need a good mix of assessment tools, interviews and observations to carry out their work and help them administer the assessments, score and interpret reports with ease. Q-interactive is a tool designed to help Psychologists do exactly that ensuring their work is of a high quality. 

Pearson Clinical was proud to sponsor the Chief Allied Health Professions Officer Awards for 2018.
