Understanding various assessments is a critical aspect of rehabilitation counseling. In order to be a competent counselor, one must be able to research, understand, and articulate the components of assessments. Each student has been assigned an assessment and must demonstrate mastery in order to receive maximum credit. Each student is required to answer each of these questions in essay format in bullet style so that each response is easily identified and understood. Additionally, the student will create a PowerPoint presentation that exudes graduate level higher order thinking and rationale delineating each of the factors in the assignment. The PowerPoint presentation should include illustrations as well as references (MINIMUM 12 slides). This is the capstone of the course and should be taken SERIOUSLY
