The second edition of this textbook provides expanded and updated
guidance on the process of psychoeducational assessment and report
writing for children in grades K-12. It casts the entire process
within a newly proposed evidence-based psychoeducational assessment
and report writing framework, and explains how to convey results
through detailed, well-written reports. The new edition guides
readers, step by step, through the assessment process - collecting
data, writing reports, and communicating conclusions - for students
with conditions spanning the range of IDEA classifications.
Chapters offer a broad understanding of assessment and
communication skills as well as the ethical, legal, cultural, and
professional considerations that come with psychoeducational
evaluation. In addition, chapters significantly expand on the
coverage of learning disabilities, autism spectrum, intellectual
disabilities, gifted, and other health-impaired and emotional
disturbance assessment. The text updates sample reports from the
previous edition, offering annotated commentary in the report
explaining salient points and major decisions, and incorporates
additional report samples to demonstrate fully the assessment and
report writing process. Key topics addressed in the revised and
expanded edition include: Psychoeducational assessment and report
writing in school and clinic settings. Interview formats from
various perspectives, including caregivers/parents, teachers, and
students. Assessment of culturally and linguistically diverse
youth. Assessment of social, emotional, behavioral and mental
health difficulties that may affect students' educational
functioning. Common academic difficulties, including reading,
writing and mathematics. Common recommendations and accommodations
for behavioral, social, emotional, and learning needs.
Incorporation of response-to-intervention/curriculum based
assessment data into the psychoeducational report.
Psychoeducational Assessment and Report Writing, 2nd Edition, is an
essential textbook for graduate students as well as researchers,
professors, and professionals in child and school psychology,
educational assessment, testing, and evaluation, social work, and
related disciplines.
