Abstract
Once the Family Court Judge issues an order for either a secure or community evaluation, a report is prepared by the DJJ Psychologist. The evaluation process may vary from evaluation center, circuit, or manner in which the report is written including how and what tests are administered as well as the length of the report. A document with this much importance that is provided to the court and used as a forensic evaluation should be uniformed in it's approach. This paper examines the possibilities through a uniformed approach in which a Psychologist can communicate through a well written report to Judges, Solicitors, Public Defenders, and county office case managers in a language that everyone understands without the use of an interpreter.
