" '...during evaluation procedures.... '

Can you tell us what you mean by this?"

I mean psychological evaluations: either general appraisals of emotional status or formal intelligence and personality assessments. In that setting, in order to obtain meaningful results that can be compared with normative data, conditions need to be carefully controlled. That's hard to do with parents there, suggesting responses or indicating by their demeanor that they disapprove of what the child is revealing.
