Marilyn P. Dornbush, Ph.D. is a school psychologist in private practice who specializes in child neuropsychology. Since she wrote her dissertation in 1984 on children with Tourette syndrome, she has been involved in the assessment, education and behavioral management of students with neurological disorders.
Sheryl K. Pruitt, M.Ed., ET/P, is Clinical Director of Parkaire Consultants, a neurological clinic in Atlanta that she founded 23 years ago that specializes in serving people with ADHD, TS and OCD. She is a consultant, author, educational therapist, and international speaker.
Assessment is a supplement to Tigers, Too, a book which offers comprehensive recommendations for addressing deficits associated with executive dysfunction, slow processing speed, and memory problems in students with ADHD, Tourette syndrome and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder – impairments which often interfere with a student’s academic, behavioral, and social functioning. Each highlighted test provides the diagnostician with the appropriate age range and a list of abilities required for the student to perform successfully. The administration of multiple tests will establish the pattern of strengths and weaknesses, commonality of approaches to problem solving, and analyses of responses. This information, combined with observations of test-taking behaviors, can be used to design and implement meaningful interventions.
