Synopsis

A landmark text, this volume systematically addresses the issues involved in developing behavioral assessment strategies for educational--rather than clinical--settings. The theoretical and conceptual underpinnings of widely used assessment methods are discussed, and their strengths and limitations evaluated. Attention is given to legal and professional issues, decision making processes in educational diagnosis, and culturally sensitive assessment practices.

About this title

From the Back Cover

"This volume is a thinking person's guide to behavioral assessment methodology. The esteemed contributors integrate theory and practice admirably. Students who use this text will gain a sophisticated understanding of these techniques, learning not only how to use them, but also why." Randy Kamphaus, PhD, University of Georgia

"As we have come to expect from Shapiro and Kratochwill, this is a comprehensive, thoughtful, and up-to-date volume. Topics represented include not only the classics, such as direct observation and functional analysis, but also curriculum-based assessment and self-monitoring strategies. This second edition represents the new 'gold standard' for students, researchers, and practitioners." Cindy Carlson, PhD, University of Texas, Austin
