Bringing the field fully up to date, the second edition incorporates important new instruments, refinements of observational strategies, computer applications, and emerging concepts in assessment. Many chapters have new authorship, and entirely new chapters deal with legal and professional issues, decision making processes in educational diagnosis, culturally sensitive assessment practices, and curriculum-based assessment of academic skills problems. This is an ideal reference and text for practicing school psychologists and counselors, child clinical psychologists, and graduate-level students in these areas.This second edition addresses issues in the development of behavioural assessment strategies for educational rather than clinical settings. It discusses the theory and concepts behind a range of methods of assessing emotional/behavioural difficulties and academic skills problems are evaluated.
