  13. CASE STUDY • Roxy is an 18-year old female with an intellectual disability who will be participating in a comprehensive vocational evaluation soon. To date, Roxy has never participated in any aspect of vocational evaluation and is completely unfamiliar with vocational evaluation agency policies and procedures. Needless to say, she is very nervous and has prepared numerous questions in advance regarding the entire vocational evaluation process. When Roxy meets with the vocational evaluation team for the first time, the evaluators inform Roxy that they have an unusually large number of clients to evaluate that day. Therefore, the vocational evaluators would like to “skip” the standard admissions process and begin test administration immediately. Roxy is also told that she will be done and out the door in no time. As a result, Roxy is not able to ask service-related questions. What aspects of the interview process, if any, are missing in this example? What ethical issues are involved in this situation? Could the vocational evaluator’s treatment of Roxy impact the services she received? If impacted, in what ways?
