Time2Track resources and questions

I’m trying to log my clinical hours in Time2Track and keep hitting roadblocks with the activity categories. I’m in my first year of a clinical PhD program, but my program isn’t very helpful with providing guidelines for how to log in Time2Track, so I’m turning to you all for advice!

For those who are experienced in Time2Track – do you know of any good resources with an explanation of the categories? I found this website online that seems pretty comprehensive (http://www.wheaton.edu/Academics/Departments/Psychology/Graduate-Programs/Clinical-Training/~/media/Files/Academics/Departments/Psychology/MACPTime2TrackCategories.pdf ) but parts of this document contradict other things I’ve heard. Do you think this is a good foundation for understanding the categories, or can anyone suggest other resources?

A couple other specific questions:
1. Can someone clarify the difference between neuropsychological testing and psychodiagnostic test administration? I’ve read contradicting explanations online. Very simple example: I was told by a peer to log IQ tests (WAIS, WJCA, etc) as psychodiagnostic, but now I'm reading online this would fall into neuropsychological? What about achievement tests, i.e. WJTA?

2. For anyone who’s worked in a school – what activity category do you use for administering Response to Intervention probes (curriculum-based progress monitoring assessments; each take about 5 min or so)? “Outcome assessment of programs or projects” or “School (Direct Intervention)” or “Other”?

I searched the forum but couldn't find answers to these particular questions... please let me know if I've missed something though! Thanks.

I'll take a stab at responding to this first question:

It's going to depend, at least in some situations, on the referral question and on the supervision you're receiving. If the question refers to the assessment of a neurological/neuropsychological condition (e.g., memory loss), you're being supervised by a neuropsychologist, and you're using measures that can inform a neuropsychological diagnosis (e.g., tests with known brain-behavior characteristics and relationships), it's probably neuropsychological.

What immediately springs to mind when I hear "psychodiagnostic testing" is the psychometric assessment of personality/psychopathology. So something along the lines of an MMPI, PAI, or MCMI. Psychoeducational assessment could also possibly fall in here if the assessment predominantly consists of self- and collateral-reports and clinical interviews.

Achievement and IQ testing in and of themselves are not necessarily neuropsychological assessment, although they can be included as part of a neuropsychological battery.

2. For anyone who's worked in a school – what activity category do you use for administering Response to Intervention probes (curriculum-based progress monitoring assessments; each take about 5 min or so)? "Outcome assessment of programs or projects" or "School (Direct Intervention)" or "Other"?
