Students observe faculty provide training to agencies or engage in therapeutic and/or psychoeducational services to a forensic population of children, adolescents, adults, and/or families through several different community initiatives at The Chicago School Forensic Center. Students will administer and score direct observation measures and utilize data to synthesize information, formulate opinions, and document findings for the purpose of treatment planning and recommendations. In addition, this course will expose students to community needs assessment activities, such as identifying resources, strengths, weaknesses, or unique problems. * This course is optional; semester hours do not count towards program completion.
