Description
The Handbook of Psychoeducational Assessment is a practical guide for educational and psychological professionals using
norm-referenced tests in the ability, achievement, and behavioral assessment of children. Written by key individuals involved in the
construction and evolution of the most widely used tests, this book provides critical information on the nature and scope of commonly
used tests, their reliability and validity, administration, scoring and interpretation, and on how the tests may differ and complement
each other in their utility with specific populations.
Part 1 of the Handbook of Psychoeducational Assessment focuses
on ability assessment and the use of full battery intelligence tests as well as brief scales and short forms. Part 2 discusses achievement
and the expanded role of psychologists in consultation with educators. Part 3 covers behavior assessment with special attention given
to discussion of which tests are most suitable for assessing specific behavioral problems such as ADHD, anxiety, and depression. The
final section recognizes the importance of context and person sensitive assessment practices, discussing cross-cultural assessment, neuropsychological
assessment, and the usefulness of dynamic assessment for program planning and intervention delivery.
