Quickly acquire the knowledge and skills you need to confidently administer, score, and interpret the Kaufman assessment tests

The seven Kaufman measures include the Kaufman Adolescent and Adult Intelligence Test (KAIT); Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (K-ABC); Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test (K-BIT); Kaufman Functional Academic Skills Test (K-FAST); Kaufman Short Neuropsychological Assessment Procedure (K-SNAP); Early Screening Profiles (ESP); and Kaufman Survey of Early Academic and Language Skills (K-SEALS). In order to use them properly, professionals need authoritative advice and guidance on how to administer, score, and interpret these tests. Essentials of Cognitive Assessment with KAIT and Other Kaufman Measures is that source.

Like all the volumes in the Essentials of Psychological Assessment series, this book is designed to help busy mental health practitioners quickly acquire the knowledge and skills they need to make optimal use of major psychological assessment instruments. Each concise chapter features numerous callout boxes highlighting key concepts, bulleted points, and extensive illustrative material, as well as test questions that help you gauge and reinforce your grasp of the information covered.

Essentials of Cognitive Assessment with KAIT and Other Kaufman Measures includes vital information about each of the seven Kaufman tests, including information on how to integrate the measures and recommendations of related readings. In addition to step-by-step guidance on test administration, scoring, and interpretation, the authors provide their expert assessment of the tests' relative strengths and weaknesses, valuable advice on their clinical applications, and several illuminating case reports.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential "Essentials" book, December 14, 2001
By 
This review is from: Essentials of Cognitive Assessment with KAIT and Other Kaufman Measures (Essentials of Psychological Assessment) (Paperback)
This is another great book in the "Essentials" series -- provides information on seven different "Kaufman" tests, most notably the K-ABC (for children) and the K-BIT (the brief test). Well-organized, easy to use, well-written. Tells you how to administer the test and how to interpret the test, step by step.
