The purpose of the study was to evaluate the knowledge level and degree to which educational diagnosticians recommend evidenced-based strategies when writing full individual evaluations (FIE).

Moreover, results suggest participants do not possess knowledge nor do they recommend SIM strategies related to expressing information.
