Testing and Your Child

Provides essential information on tests which children may encounter from infancy through adolescence

Beginning at birth, and often before, children encounter a variety of tests, ranging from routine evaluations to specific assessments of their physical, emotional, and intellectual conditions. McCullough, editor of Entrepreneur Life , offers a guide to many of the medical, developmental, educational, and psychological tests that children may be given during their first 18 years. Key information about each test is contained in the profiles of over 150 common testing tools and procedures (e.g., what the test does and does not measure, what preparation is required, how the test is scored, and how results are interpreted). While not without its flaws--the medical section is inconsistent in its arrangement and coverage--this is a unique and valuable reference tool. Recommended for parenting collections.
