This workshop will provide an overview and update on the Cross-Battery Assessment Software System (XBASS). Samples and examples will be provided. PARTICIPANTS ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF CURRENT CROSS BATTERY PRACTICES.

The Cross-Battery Assessment Software System (X-BASS) allows school psychologists and other assessment professionals access to efficient, expert analysis of cross-battery assessment findings. The X-BASS integrates the Cross-Battery Assessment Data Management and Interpretive Assistant, Pattern of Strengths and Weaknesses Analyzer, and Culture-Language Interpretive Matrix into a single program, covering the latest revisions of major batteries all classified according to CHC theory. Preprogrammed formulas conduct the analyses and display the results within the context of CHC theory, and allow you to customize the parameters to answer specific questions.
The Cross-Battery Assessment approach allows you to measure reliably a wider or more selective, in-depth range of cognitive abilities and processes and academic achievement than any single battery can measure. The X-BASS provides the theoretical and psychometric foundation that permits accurate derivation of meaning from test scores, in full alignment with the most recent versions of the major batteries. •Interpret and present cross-battery assessment findings efficiently and accurately •Target analysis to answer specific questions for SLD evaluations •Analyze empirical cognitive/academic relationships beyond relative magnitude of test scores •Customize referral-relevant batteries by selecting from the X-BASS database of hundreds of cognitive, achievement, neuropsychological, and speech-language subtests
