Research grant: COVID-19 is a source of distress for school psychologists and students, and will likely increase errors in administration of norm-referenced tests that determine special education accessibility and access to services and protections afforded to students with disabilities. In addition, a lack of in-person instruction has likely led to declines in academic and cognitive ability. This study aims to provide a better understanding of how valid norm-referenced test scores obtained during COVID-19 are, and how intensive of interventions special education students will likely require. https://twu.edu/woodcock-institute/funded-research-grants/2020-21-funded-research-grants/
