All you ever wanted to know about assessment.,

This review is from: Assessment of Children and Youth (Paperback)
This book is a user friendly resource that will tell you everything you always wanted to know about assessment, but were afraid to ask because of a fear of being snowed under by a bunch of pedantic mumbo-jumbo. Whether you are a counselor or special ed. teacher ( I am in training for the former, currently employed as the latter), this book takes a comprehensive look at assessment as a whole, involving families, reliability and validity, and a section in each chapter "what shapes our views." Excellent text, and reference. This was an "optional book" in our LD class; should have been required.
