Attendees will learn how to identify the most clinically relevant components of an evaluation, interpret common assessment findings, and use this information to strengthen case conceptualization, treatment planning, and parent collaboration. Practical strategies for adapting therapeutic interventions based on a client's unique cognitive profile will also be discussed, providing clinicians with tools they can immediately integrate into practice.Learning ObjectivesIdentify the most clinically relevant components of a psychoeducational evaluation.Interpret common cognitive and academic assessment findings and their impact on daily functioning.Apply assessment results to case conceptualization and individualized treatment planning.Adapt therapeutic interventions based on a client's cognitive profile.Communicate evaluation findings to parents using clear, strengths-based language. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/dallas/continuing-education-for-dallas-counselors/100001994907243266 - **Event Categories**: workshops - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 3 hours - Location: Thread Counseling Group - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 44.52, max: 76.54, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Dallas - **state**: TX - **country**: United States - **location**: Thread Counseling Group - **lat**: 32.8852727 - **long**: -96.7632017 - **full address**: Thread Counseling Group, 7557 Rambler Road, Dallas, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Continuing Education for Dallas Counselors - **Image URL**: https://dyn-image.allevents.in/generate-image?v=4&title=Continuing+Education+for+Dallas+Counselors&date=Fri%2C+25+Sep%2C+2026+at+09%3A00+am&bg=2 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Continuing Education for Dallas Counselors being held? - **A:** Continuing Education for Dallas Counselors takes place on Fri, 25 Sep, 2026 at 09:00 am to Fri, 25 Sep, 2026 at 12:00 pm at Thread Counseling Group, 7557 Rambler Road, Dallas, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Continuing Education for Dallas Counselors? - **A:** Continuing Education for Dallas Counselors is organized by Kristina McCook, LPC-S, RPT & Lauren Stewart, LPC-S. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
