I had the opportunity to chat (via phone) with
Dr. Marcel Ponton today re: the
BAT III and interpretation of test scores in the context of Atkins MR/ID cases. I found the discussion stimulating and at a very professional level re: intellectual assessment of individuals with Hispanic backgrounds. Although I have not read his book, nor do I have a copy, my positive impressions were such that I would like readers of the
IDCP blog to be aware of his book. His book "
The Hispanic Patient and the Neuropsychological Asessment" might be worth a look by examiners engaged in psychological assessment of individuals with Hispanic backgrounds.
