Who is complaining or alarmed? Who thinks there is a problem? What is the person complaining about?
What is the person motivated for? What does he or she want?
What does the person do well? What assets does he/she have? (Find contexts of competence.) Skills, hobbies, sports, activities, avocations, life experiences, etc.
Any exceptions/previous solutions/times when situation was better
Best coping moments What are the goals? How will we know when we
are done? Get specific about the problem-free future.

Assessment Tool “Rules Of Thumb”
Never diagnose with a test or screening instrument only.
Tests are useful in validating information provided by the student in the subjective interview.
Testing tools should only be used by those with training in using that tool.
All testing tools have limitations. Never replace the expertise, training, and
experience of the clinician with a test.
