The Future of Teleassessment Across Psychological Fields: Moving Forward

The Future of Teleassessment Across Psychological Fields: Moving Forward Panel presentation and discussion (2.25 credit hours) LEARNING OBJECTIVES: 1. Describe at least three recommendations for the future use of teleassessment administration. 2. Apply recommendations and cautions for utilizing teleassessment in your professional practice. 3. Identify research that is still needed to support teleassessment as an evidence-based practice in your professional practice. ABSTRACT: Teleassessment and research into its use predated the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic but once it became an essential rather than optional practice during the pandemic a flurry of recommendations and guidelines followed. As the possibility of in-person psychological assessment returns, it is important to adopt a more measured and forward-looking posture that considers the future of teleassessment practice. The goal of this intermediate-level, panel discussion is to provide practitioners an opportunity to learn from four psychologists representing different fields of psychology. These individuals have conducted and reviewed research pertaining to teleassessment, and describe how it is likely to shape assessment practices moving forward.
