WINTER 2018 VOLUME 32 Nº3 OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE AMERICAN BOARD OF VOCATIONAL EXPERTS
Welcome to all new members who have come to ABVE over the last year! And a heartfelt thank you to our long-time members—thank you for
your ongoing support and affiliation with ABVE.
I would like to take this opportunity to talk about a handful of important issues, and in some instances, developments within our profession. The highlights of this article will discuss formal and informal mentorship, the International Psychometric Evaluation Certification (IPEC), new test development for the ABVE and IPEC credentials, grandfathering candidates under IPEC; and the foundational underpinnings and future of our organization.
Mentorship. Being supported by ABVE has been an enriching experience over my career as a Forensic Vocational Expert (FVE). During the general membership discussion at our conference in Savannah, I reflected how my personal and professional experience has been shaped by ABVE and how I have benefited from its mentors over the past 20 years. Expressing thanks to those who took time to mentor me in both formal and informal ways seemed a fitting way to usher in my presidency. The individuals who supported me through mentorship, consultation and generous sharing of knowledge have been John Berg, Cindy Grimley, Ron Smolarski, Chrisann Schiro-Giest, Carl Gann, Howard Caston, Ann Nuelicht, Betty Kholenberg and Sonia Pacquette. Some

of these folks may not even know that I view them in this light, but they have certainly contributed informally to my professional development in ways that are invaluable and unique. I encourage those who are seeking an informal or formal mentorship to reach out and seek consultation with those you admire. Even if those individuals are not signed up as formal mentors, it’s worth a shot to give them a ring. Attend conferences, network and develop friendships, as these activities may also provide opportunities for developing mentoring relationships. Some of the best training I ever received through ABVE was not necessarily during the formal CEU trainings, although these are excellent, but during informal down time over a beer, having dinner or just hanging out in the hotel lobby with more experienced members. These opportunities have helped me develop, comprehend new concepts, apply them to my practice and bring it all together to help me advance as an FVE.
ABVE has emphasized a mentorship program because we see it as an effective method of bringing people into the profession who may not otherwise have the support or forensic training to do so. Sometimes, new professionals just need that extra guidance to get over that first court case or first deposition jitters—which is where mentorship becomes incredibly valuable.
If you’re interested in mentorship, visit our website to access the mentorship application and submit a request to be paired with a mentor in your region. Do not worry if you don’t get an immediate call from a mentor, as it takes time to make a good match. In the meantime, reach out and ask questions!
IPEC. As many of you may know, the International Psychometric Evaluation Certification (IPEC) credential was conceived and developed out of membership demand and need for a Psychometric Evaluation credential that would consolidate and expand the testing and evaluation aspect of our work. A primary vehicle to accomplish these goals is through a training and
education program of members. In 2015, IPEC was officially sanctioned by the ABVE Executive Board to emphasize the critical nature and need for members to be competent in a wide range of psychological and educational testing. Because psychometrics share statistical, research, and methodological foundation across disciplines, IPEC is of value to many in forensic and clinical professions among our core group and discipline as well as outside our core group. I’m pleased to say our credential is attracting people from closely aligned professions and disciplines who wish to sharpen their psychometric assessment skills and abilities using a broad spectrum of research, tools and instruments. We are seeing professionals from the academic profession, life care planners, Certified Vocational Evaluator (CVE), those who hold the Professional Vocational Evaluator (PVE) registry status, Psychologists, School Counselors, Psychotherapists, and many other master’s level professionals seeking this key skillset, credential and training.
New Test Development for ABVE & IPEC. Both ABVE and IPEC will continue to develop gold standard tests of competency by carefully going through the Delphi study method of test development which relies upon Classical Test Theory and uses the job analysis method to ensure content validity of each item in the test. The entire process is considered under the context and guidelines of the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) and its sister organization, The Institute for Credentialing Excellence (ICE). ABVE and IPEC are taking such steps now so that when it is time, both credentials will meet the NCCA and ICE criteria for certification and accreditation with those institutions. The job analysis method of test development is quite involved! It takes many experts and many steps to reach a consensus in regard to what is critically important and frequently encountered in defining and carrying out FVE work or Psychometric Assessment work. Some of the steps that have
occurred thus far in the development of the renewal of the ABVE competency test and the new IPEC competency test include creating a mission statement, refining a purpose statement, defining the criteria of a subject matter expert, domain development, defining a stakeholder list, defining the populations of credential holders, selecting and hiring standard setting experts, developing and running committees, developing and sending out surveys, running focus groups, teaching item analysis and item writing techniques to experts and creating administrative infrastructure. This is but a fraction of what occurs in the job analysis (practice analysis) method which will ultimately result in reliable and valid exam deployment for both credentials.
There are essentially two ways in which organizations like ABVE can financially support and develop valid competency exams; 1. The slow internally managed method of relying upon volunteer experts, membership committees and grandfathered experts. 2. The quick externally managed method that relies mostly on a hired consultant to manage the whole process from beginning to end. Because ABVE is a credentialed group of about 500 members, our Board chose method #1. Both tests still require a sizable investment to complete competency exams to standard, but in my view, well-researched competency exams are an investment in its current members and future members. As you may know, the ABVE Test Committee Chair, DT North is pulling together resources from all corners of our organization to achieve a top of the line valid and reliable test. We are lucky to have DT and folks like him in this endeavor.
I have worked in a number of roles overseeing the IPEC development since 2013 but as my presidency approached, I looked to two energetic and intelligent people to share the oversite and development of the IPEC; Dan Wolstein, PhD and Maurillio “Maui” Garza, PsyD. Dan resides in Hackensack, NJ and has taken on the
The vocational expert | 3
role of IPEC Test Development Chair, while Maui resides in Kennewick, WA and has taken on the role of IPEC-NCCA/ICE Infrastructure Committee Chair. I have since transitioned to IPEC Program Development Chair so that I may maintain a supportive role and help alleviate some of the time and resource demand placed upon these two very capable people.
Grandfathering of IPEC. Currently, potential certificant’s are encouraged to apply. Qualifications are relatively straight forward and are met by the following:1. Application Criteria:
a. Complete the IPEC application found at the ABVE website.
2. Educational Achievement Criteria:a. Possess a minimum of a Master’s
degree in Psychology, Counseling, Rehabilitation or related other health discipline.
3. Educational Course Equivalents Criteria:
a. Demonstrate through transcripts, completion 5 of the 8 course equivalents associated with the core courses.
4. Professional Experience Criteria:a. Show that you have used tests or
instruments in 3 of the 11 testing domains listed on the application.
5. Work Product Criteria:a. Submit 1, and up to 3, redacted reports
demonstrating how you use testing and testing outcomes in your reports.
6. Professional Standing Criteria:
a. Be in good standing with other certifications and or licensures you hold.
7. Ethics Criteria:a. Sign a code of ethics statement with
ABVE, affirming your ethical intent.8. Financial Criteria:
a. Pay an application fee of $225.00 at the time of application submittal.
Those who can demonstrate they are licensed or practice at the doctoral level or are at the master’s level with a past or current CVE will be fast tracked through the grandfathering application process upon demonstration of such education and credential.
Initially, the ABVE Executive Board made plans to roll out the updated ABVE exam in late 2017 with the IPEC exam to follow in early 2018. However, because we have chosen to take the slow internally managed method of relying upon volunteer experts, membership committees and grandfathered experts to develop both exams, we have concluded that the tests will take longer than what was originally estimated. Grandfathering under IPEC will therefore be extended out to the end of 2018. The upside of an extended grandfather period is that IPEC will develop a larger pool of grandfathered experts to include in its Beta testing group. Both ABVE and IPEC have prioritized its exam development while ensuring the tests are up to standard so they can withstand any court of law or legal challenge, while also to ensure the exams meet NCCA standards of certification and accreditation.
The future of ABVE & IPEC. ABVE is a nationally recognized forensic vocational evaluation organization with credentialed members from the US and Canada, and a few members from Guam, Puerto Rico, Mexico, England, and Australia. Because of the value membership provides, ABVE envisions continued growth over the next ten years. We will achieve this growth by inviting in the highest quality of speakers, trainers and educators. We want those new graduates or those new to the forensic discipline to know they have a home here when they are ready to make it part of their practice. ABVE will seek the highest certification for credentialing and accreditation standards through NCCA & ICE.
OnlineCE. Another important factor of growth for ABVE has been the development of a virtual training CEU platform, OnlineCE.com. Past president and yet another talented ABVE member, Cindy Grimley, was the key collaborator with developer, Paul Powers, working to bring us this online resource. If you as an author write an article or book and wish for it to be utilized in our profession as a seminal source of training or knowledge, you may submit it to OnlineCE along with multiple-choice content questions, for inclusion in the CEU library. Subsequently, when members read your article or book, they are then asked to take an exam based upon the multiple-choice questions to earn CEU’s. If you are the original author of the article or book, you then have the opportunity to earn fees each time a member takes the exam associated with your authored work.
Check out OnlineCE (https://www.chirocredit.com/abve/) for more details!
I encourage you to join a committee, write a peer reviewed article, undertake a research project, join IPEC to become a lifelong learner of psychometrics, sign up to be a mentor or be mentored, visit the OnlineCE website to earn CEU’s or run for a board position. And make sure to come to the next ABVE conference in Salt Lake City Utah on April 6-8, 2018. Thank you for staying tuned with the newsletter! Have a great year in 2018!
Dr. Uma: After receiving rave reviews from the 2017 Conference in Savannah, GA we have invited Dr. Uma back to our conference as our opening keynote speaker! Dr. Uma Dhanabalan is a highly respected physician trained in Family Medicine and Occupation & Environmental Medicine. Attendees will be uplifted with Dr. Uma’s passion and mission of educating, embracing and empowering people. She believes that cannabis is not an entrance drug but an exit drug from pharmaceuticals and narcotics. In this session you will learn the history of cannabis as a medicine, identify the endocannabinoid system of the human body and better understand the therapeutic benefits of cannabis. There will be a Q & A at the end of the session.
Dirty Jobs Tour: We have an incredible opportunity to peel back the curtain and get a firsthand look at who is operating the trains that cross through every state in the country, how these individuals prepare for employment, how trains are formed and what it takes to keep the trains moving. This is an on-site learning program at the national training center for Union Pacific Railroad. The program will involve reviewing the training procedures and requirements for their locomotive engineers, which include
locomotive simulators to teach employees how to operate locomotives. We will also be reviewing the educational, physical and intellectual requirements of locomotive engineers. How current engineers are trained and remain current in their profession. This will give us a behind the scenes look at how the railroad transportation industry operates. (Additional $25 Fee - Max 40).
Pre-Cons:Challenges Ahead – Daubert Challenges and Clinical Judgement: A Case Study. This program’s goal is to provide a review of Rule 702 of the federal rules of evidence and the Daubert standard. A case will be reviewed which used clinical judgement, the motion in limine that ensued and my response to assist the retaining attorney to respond to the motion. Should each case be “cookie cutter” or should our clinical judgment prevail?
Advanced Concepts in Functional Capacity Evaluations (FCEs), Job Analysis, Workers’ Compensation, and the ADAAA. Vide Sis! This pre-conference session will examine critical topics routinely encountered in workers’ compensation claims. Topics include the use of invalid testing methods in FCEs for determining “sincerity of effort”, the misuse and abuse of Waddell’s signs, the legal basis for a valid functional job
description for return to work, and the intrinsic relationship between a workers’ compensation claim and the ADAAA.And More! Check out the full program here!
Also, see Salt Lake City while you are there!Salt Lake City is the vibrant, urban heart of Utah. Nestled within a valley, known as the Wasatch Front, Salt Lake City can be described as comfortably urban.
It provides all the landmark establishments, high-rated dining and nightlife, mass transit, creative culture, urban edginess and local events you expect to find in a thriving metro area, with the convenience and affordability of a place that hasn’t been discovered by the masses. As one of the earliest settlements in the western United States — which was then, still very much the Wild West seen in the movies — it has a uniquely historic feel compared to other western capital cities.
Some of the top things to see in Salt Lake are:
– Natural History Museum of Utah – Museum of Ancient Life – Family History Library– Temple Square– Clark Planetarium– Red Butte Garden– Wheeler Historic Farm– Museum of Church History & Art
I’ve Been Working on the RailroadCome aboard during the 2018 ABVE Conference in Salt Lake City as we visit the national training center for Union Pacific Railroad. We will be learning the job and training requirements for locomotive engineers, conductors, mechanics, and other occupations in the railroad industry. The use of computer simulation to train locomotive engineers. This is an offsite event which requires pre-registration on the conference registration form.

IPEC TestDevelopment Committee UpdateDan Wolstein – ABVE ipECtEst DEVElopMEnt ChAir
The survey was sent out to multiple memberships and the results are back. This data will help provide foundational demographic information regarding the constituency of vocational experts. The data gathering phase is accomplished and the committee will be transitioning to test item formulation. To this end, the committee will be meeting to review the proper methodology for test item formulation, as this needs to be standardized and legally defensible.It is expected that this phase will begin within Q1 to Q2 of 2018.
Nathaniel Edward Fentress, 66, died in his New Orleans home on September 21, 2017. Born at George
Washington Hospital in Washington, D.C. on September 5, 1951, he was the son of Mary Dee Billings Fentress and John Leo Fentress Jr. Mr. Fentress lived in Washington and Alexandria, Virginia in his early years. He moved to Gulfport, Mississippi at age ten with his family. He graduated from Gulfport High School in 1969 and was a member of the Gulfport Commodores football team. He attended the University of Mississippi where he was president of his Delta Kappa Epsilon pledge class. He graduated from the University of Southern Mississippi in 1973 with a bachelor’s degree in sociology and history. He received a master’s in counseling psychology from USM the following year. Mr. Fentress devoted his counseling career to rehabilitation in
many forms. He believed in the potential of humans to gain footing and meaning despite traumas and challenges in their lives. He initially worked for the state of Alabama to help cognitively challenged individuals live and work independently in Mobile. He returned to the Mississippi Gulf Coast to work in a pilot first-offenders project in the Harrison County District Attorney’s office. While living in Gulfport, he was also a sociology instructor at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College. He was a Diplomate of the American Board of Vocational Experts, past chairman of the Governor’s Office of Handicapped Services and board member of the Mississippi Brain Injury Association. He was a communicant of St. Andrew’s Episcopal Cathedral. He loved his two daughters supremely, but also treasured his extended family, serving as a clearinghouse for Fentress genealogy researchers across the world.

Washington Alert - ACLU Statement on the ADA Education and Reform Act
To: All Members of the National Rehabilitation Association
Fredric SchroederExECutiVE DirECtor
On February 15, 2018 the House of Representatives passed H. R. 620, the ADA Education and Reform
Act. The act would weaken the ADA on the misguided belief that the ADA’s Title III access requirements create a burden on small businesses. In general, H. R. 620 gives businesses six months to begin addressing access violations after receiving a complaint, meaning businesses would have no incentive to make their businesses
accessible until someone points out an access violation. Now that H. R. 620 has passed the House, advocates are turning their attention to the Senate.
Below is an article from the American Civil Liberties Union dispelling many of the myths about H. R. 620 and its impact on small businesses and the lives of people with disabilities.

MESSAGE FROM SECRETARYKOURTNEY LAYTON
For those of you who know me, it will come to no sur-prise that I like challenges. I’d like to think I thrive on them, even when I probably take on too much and the workload feels unmanageable for a time.
Acting as the Conference Chair for the Salt Lake City meeting was one of these challenges— a feat I could not have managed had it not been for the stalwart support of Stephanie Munoz and Nick Jellison. I had no idea how difficult planning a conference could be and have often joked that I should “kiss the feet of every conference chair before me”, but the truth of the matter is that these events would never rise to the caliber ABVE is know for without Stephanie. She has been instrumental in so many ways and deserves our gratitude.
I would also like to thank Terry Leslie for his contributions to the conference planning committee. When we first met as a committee, I asked the members to think outside of the box and come up with fresh topics for Salt Lake City, 2018. With his “Dirty Jobs Tour” idea, Terry did not disappoint. I’m so excited his concept came to fruition and I hope all of you are looking forward to this unique session as much as I am.
Being the Secretary of ABVE and editor of the Vocational Expert for the past 3 years was another challenge. I remember when Gray Broughton tried to rope me in more than 6 years ago, but I was still only an Associate member and, therefore, unable to run in that election. Shortly after I became a Fellow, the Secretary position opened up again. I was selected and attended my first Board meeting in the haunted halls of the Menger Hotel in San Antonio. Although balancing a busy practice with my duties as secretary and editor was sometimes difficult, I’ve learned so much during my term. I have been grateful for the experience and look forward to serving again in the future.
Thank you for a wonderful 3 years on the Board. Now that my term has ended, I am ready to focus on the greatest challenge of all— motherhood!
