Each report should be 8 pages long.
Helping professionals are frequently called upon to assess individuals and develop professional reports that (1) summarize relevant data, (2) draw conclusions, and (3) propose appropriate recommendations and interventions. Since individuals reading these reports may have little knowledge of appraisal, ones ability to present well-written, objective, and professional reports is extremely important! So, the purpose of this assignment is to be able to complete the following:
I. Review clients-provided data for Client A and Client B ( see attached Client Demographic Form)
