By utilizing sound psychometric principles and applying testing industry standards defined in the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing (APA/AERA/NCME) and by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies, the BSDA exam will be especially relevant to the BSD community and will provide a fair and stable benchmark for assessing BSD knowledge and skills."

She earned her graduate degrees from the University of Chicago, with her Masters degree in Research Methodology and Quantitative Psychology and her PhD in Measurement, Evaluation and Statistical Analysis. She has been working in the measurement and evaluation field for over 15 years and has focused on working with certifying examinations in the last ten years, chiefly utilizing Rasch measurement techniques. Working with these certifying groups, Sandra applies current testing theory and develops program policies to improve examinations and gain approval through internal review mechanisms as well as to secure external accreditation through such organizations as NOCA/NCCA.
