The obstacles to valid and meaningful assessment of deaf and hard
of hearing children and adolescents are great, yet professionals
are regularly asked to conduct comprehensive evaluations to
determine resource and program eligibility, test modifications in
school, classroom and home recommendations, and referrals. In this
important new text, the authors define the skills required of the
examiners, explain the complex nature of these assessments, and
describe ways to intelligently use existing tests. Authors Margery
Miller, Tania Thomas-Presswood, Kurt Metz, and Jennifer Lukomski
bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to this in-depth
treatment of topics essential to educators and school
psychologists. They cover such critical areas as test construction
and measurement; the diversity in American Deaf culture; the role
of parents in the assessment process; neuropsychological
assessments; nonverbal methods for assessing intelligence; and the
need for sign language competency when testing cognitive and
language skill. The text concludes with recommendations for the
development of valid and reliable tests for all students who are
deaf and hard of hearing.
