The primary role of the ECP Assessment Materials Resource Centre (AMRC) is to provide graduate students from the School/Applied Child Psychology ²¹²Ô»åÌýCounselling Psychology programs with access to standardized materials for use in course and clinic work. The AMRC serves as a 'loan collection' whereby measures can be loaned to individual students as part of their course requirements. Read more under "Access" for access and use guidelines for the Centre's resources.

Students receiveÌýan introduction to tests of cognitive abilities, aptitude, personality, and interests, including the acquisition of basic skills needed to administer and interpret individual tests. In some programs studentsÌýare expected to operate autonomously to conduct full client assessments or client counselling sessionsÌýin our ECP Psychoeducational and Counselling Clinic.
