Most special education teachers only see the end product of assessments done by school psychologists. This book helps you understand the numbers and what they represent when looking at a evalutation team report. This book helps you to write more effective IEPs and plan remediation for appropriate areas of weakness and capitalize on strengths.

This book was assigned by my Grad Instructor and it has really helped me grasp the world of Assessments. Thank you.

I found this book to be redundant of all of the classes I had already taken. However, if you are taking the Praxis in Special Education, there are a lot of things you will find in this book to help you. I read it before I took the exam. It was easy for me to read, but I think it was also do to the fact that I learned everything in another course.

In my class it wasn't even required because he goes over everything in lecture, plus the class is about actually giving assessments.

If you buy the book, don't worry about its condition as long as you can read it!

I have only read the first few chapters so far but it is a great book. Chapter 2 clearly explaines many of the laws that affect the way we teach and provide services to children with special needs. I will definitely not be selling this book back at the end of this semester. Its a keeper!

Assessing Learners with Special Needs is a great text to learn more about the assessment of students with special needs. It includes information on different types of assessments and how to use assessment information in decision making. Also includes information on young children and transition. Keep in mind though it is on the assessment of STUDENTS!

This is a great product. I purchased from a trustworthy user and I am thankful for that. I will continue to use Amazon for purchasing textbooks

This book was a required purchase for graduate school. It is very informative and defines terminology in a way that is comprehendable.

I received the book (for a college class) very quickly. The book was in great condition - which was better than expected. Thank you!

It is a great book I have to have it for my ed classes and its working out very well, thanks!!

So this book was a requirement for one of my college courses. It seemed to me to be a pretty good book for an introduction to assessments. It covered a lot of the basics needed to know about assessing children in the school environment and was really good about covering common terminology used. There was a lot of vocabulary to learn and this book did a good job of explaining it. I don't have anything to compair it to so I am not sure if there are better books out there. For the most part, this book gave me the information I needed for my class as well as conducting assessments with my students in the classroom.
