Educational Diagnostician
Educational diagnosticians perform formal assessments, such as written, oral, and hands-on problem-solving tests, with students who are struggling. They are experts at observing students in a class to see their work style, behavior patterns, and reactions to teachers and other students. Most will present their findings in IEP meetings and share their plans for students with teachers, school administrators, and parents.
