Assessments should not be used as the only criteria to diagnosis or define a behavior, “never use a test in isolation” was a statement by Wendy (personal communication, July 7, 2015).

critical that an assessment instrument to be the valid test for people from diverse ethnocultural background. Hays (2001) asserted considerations for the client’s ethnocultural and linguistic background as essential to the assessment process. People from various cultures express themselves differently.

Dr. Fink (2003) stated that the key components of integrated course design were to “analyze the situational factors, formulate the learning goals, design the feedback and assessment procedures, and select the teaching/learning activities” (p. 2).

were not that pleasant. I always consider that there is a reason for everything. I always rely on my intuition when there are changes in my clients’ behavior as well. If they were pleasant then not nice shortly after, I will always have a thorough assessment right away to make sure they are not confuse or declining in health. I can relate an event to one of my offender clients.…
