Publisher's Synopsis
For courses in Assessment in Special Education.
Unlike other books, it is organised chronologically and moves sequentially through response to intervention, to prereferral strategies, to assessments, to report writing, to development of the IEP. Chapters discuss the most current and reliable assessment measures used in schools to determine all areas of special need from infancy, to school-age and into adulthood. This edition addresses current topics such as IDEA 2004, curriculum-based assessment, curriculum-based measurement, functional behaviour assessments and behavioural intervention plans. Early chapters are devoted to foundational concepts, while later chapters tackle practical topics such as interpretation, diagnosis, report writing, recommendations, parent involvement and eligibility.
