An issue with understanding performance for diverse students is establishing what constitutes as “normal,” expected cognitive evaluation results as compared to those suggesting a disability. The use of the Diverse Student Normal Ability Performance (D-SNAP) format allows for an objective assessment of the specific impact of diversity on a student’s testing results. The method for establishing the expected scores will be explained in depth, and the potential interpretation regarding difference versus disability will be presented.

1.5 APA CEs are available for those who attend live and fill out an APA evaluation form.
