Abstract: This document was developed by Section IX (Assessment) of Division 12 (Clinical Psychology) of the American Psychological Association. Assessment education and training have been directly and significantly impacted by COVID-19. The decisions regarding how to proceed with assessment training during the COVID-19 era rely on many factors and must be made carefully and thoughtfully by each program and agency, taking into consideration their specific circumstances, needs, and resources. The current document aims to provide specific suggestions for potential adaptations and options to consider in preparation for an unclear 2020-2021 academic/training year for both assessment instructors and assessment supervisors at multiple levels of training, in order to help with program and agency-based decisions. While the document offers a multitude of suggestions, it is by no means exhaustive. The safety and wellbeing of students, trainees/interns, instructors, supervisors, staff, and of course clients continues to be a top priority.
