I had to purchase this book for a graduate course about assessing students with special needs. I'm only about halfway through the course, but I can already tell that I won't be selling it after the course is over. This will be a useful book to return to again and again as I assess and work with students with disabilities. Each of the five parts (introduction to special education assessment, skills for special educators, assessment for special education eligibility, assessment of academic skills, and important considerations) provides several in-depth chapters delving into the intricacies of choosing and administering assessments and then using those results in meaningful ways.

The book is full of important information. As I read through each chapters, I learned a lot with the information that I was reading and some of the information I read are an eye opener. I would personally recommend this book to everyone to buy.

So far so good. This text is well written and understandable. Is a very good addition to your special education class.

Of course, since this is a textbook, if its a required reading, you will have no choice but to get it. However, I suggest borrowing it from someone or renting it, or just sharing with a friend in class, because it is so boring and cumbersome that the professor will probably never ask you to open it (mine never did).

The book has only a few underlined sentences scattered throughout, however, it was in great condition. The pages were intact and not at all heavily marked. It also arrived much earlier than I expected.

it took almost 2 wks to receive this book. i desperately needed it for class and had to catch up with reading as soon as it was received.

This textbook was in great shape and worth the price - content is great for the class - DH
