Not What I Expected,

This review is from: The Special Educator's Comprehensive Guide to 301 Diagnostic Tests (Paperback)
I was a little disappointed when I received this book. I was hoping for at least some examples of each diagnostic test to get a better sense of the test. This book just listed the test and information about the population that it might be good for.

Not read- just a respose,
This review is from: The Special Educator's Comprehensive Guide to 301 Diagnostic Tests (Paperback)
Although I have not read this book, I wanted to respond to a previous review. Many diagnostic tests are copyrighted and can not be reproduced without permission.
