    Assignment 1: LASA 2 Special Considerations in Testing
    Our psychologist Keith has been asked to conduct a psychoeducational evaluation on 8-year old Melanie. Melanies teacher and parents are concerned because she is having significant difficulty reading and comprehending information. She also has a hard time paying attention and is always talking out in class. She is a sweet girl and gets along well with others but her challenges are negatively impacting her grades and interrupting the learning of those around her.
