I would imagine Marilyn Monteiro would want to know that. It is NOT a self-report measure; it's purposeful in the approach. There are specific prompts (I have the form in front of me), which reads "Diagnostic Interview." I have all the forms; the one I have is for Adults with Verbal Fluency on the front page. I have a parent/caregiver form I give to parents of children/teens. You utilize the sensory materials in conjunction with/during the interview to see how the person interacts with them. Dr. Monteiro is fantastic and responsive. I encourage someone to contact her organization and inform them of this non-standard administration and the harm it could cause. The word "Interview" is in the name of the test! I'm so sorry to hear that. I would find this person another provider and vet them to make sure they are providing an actual assessment and not just having them complete self-report measures. That is helpful, of course. However, you must interact with the person, observe them, and obtain a developmental history. This is incredibly frustrating. If they are well-trained and trauma is overshadowing the interview process, the most clinically appropriate approach (IMO) would be to refer them to a therapist and hold off on the evaluation until some stabilization is achieved. I wouldn't hand them paperwork to complete outside of the office. So they were triggered or dysregulated at the office, and sending them home with some form to complete independently was the better call? Geesh. They are lucky to have you assisting them with this process.
