Assessments: Part 1, Personality Assessments

Different personalities, learning styles, and expectations for supervision will vary for each unique student. It is important that both the student and the educator are familiar with the approach that is most effective for a student. For example, if the student is a visual learner, it may be beneficial for the educator to demonstrate a treatment activity before allowing the student to take charge.
