Psychologist Ayşe Karaaslan: Psychological tests applied to the children are important for their development

Clinical Psychologist Ayşe Karaaslan stated that families get uneasy at first when they suddenly encounter with the tests that should be applied to their children who see psychologists, and said that while receiving psychological support, the tests to be applied to the children or some acquired information are very important for the child's developmental follow-up.

She said that objective tests are one of the most reliable methods to take the child's mental x-ray and families should not worry, and continued as follows: “When an intelligence test is performed on an 8-year-old child, the scores obtained from the test are evaluated by taking into consideration the age of the child. Similarly, the evaluation scores of a child with developmental disability are interpreted according to the age and educational level of the child. This is a very important step for the child if it is detected early by these tests.”

“TESTS ARE ESSENTIAL FOR PSYCHOLOGY STUDENTS IN THEIR PROFESSION”

Providing information about child assessment tests, Clinical Psychologist Ayşe Karaaslan said: “These tests can be sorted as intelligence tests, attention and perception tests, developmental evaluation and developmental screening tests, projective tests, psychological evaluation scales. Training about these tests is very important. Tests are essential and a guide for psychology students.”

Karaaslan reminded the benefits of it after the training to prospective psychologist students, and said: “It will help them to see the problems in a short time, which they can only encounter in a long time. This will save time and make things easier. They will have priceless knowledge on the detailed evaluation. In subjects that they cannot normally understand, an individual's abilities will help them to gain insight about their interests.”

Karaaslan stated that training will start soon at Istanbul Gelisim University Continuous Education Center (IGUSEM) and continued: “After graduation, participants will have the opportunity to work as a tester in the field of psychology. It will contribute to gain more professional experiences and play an important role in making their steps more decisive.”
