Cognitive Behavioral Theory and Practice
Not what you're looking for?
Review the interactive Virtual Client Sean Brody. Consider what types of cognitive tests are appropriate to use to evaluate his or her cognitive abilities based on the client information. In addition, review the hypothetical cognitive tests results and analyze these results in light of your client's presenting problems. Consider how these results might be used in the client's treatment plan. In this case you are not being asked to establish the presence or absence of an intellectual disability. Instead, you are being asked to consider the results from a test of intelligence to assist you in understanding the causes of the client's presenting problem and in formulating a plan of treatment.
Summarize the presenting problem of the virtual client and create a hypothesis.
Select a cognitive test from the Mental Measurements Yearbook.
Evaluate and explain why this test is most appropriate to assess the client's cognitive skills and justify your selection.

Thus, along with his race, culture and ethnicity, Sean's hearing problem could be one of the primary reasons for his difficulties.
