The assessment of children and adolescents from a behavioral perspective has evolved into
a state-of-the-art practice among school professionals. Now in a revised and expanded
second edition, this landmark text was the first to address systematically the issues
involved in developing behavioral assessment strategies for educational--rather than
clinical--settings. The theoretical and conceptual underpinnings of a wide range of
methods are discussed, and their strengths and limitations for assessing
emotional/behavioral difficulties and academic skills problems are evaluated. Bringing the
field fully up to date, the second edition incorporates important new instruments,
refinements of observational strategies, computer applications, and emerging concepts in
assessment. Many chapters have new authorship, and entirely new chapters deal with legal
and professional issues, decision-making processes in educational diagnosis, culturally
sensitive assessment practices, and curriculum-based assessment of academic skills
problems.
