[Carly · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is the workbook that accompanies the Academic Skills Problems book that loved so much. The only reason this got 3 stars (and the text book it accompanies only got 2) is that I felt this book COULD be more practical for actual use. The book itself is a workbook--so the size makes it easy to photocopy any of the pages if needed.

Of course, I still felt it was geared toward elemtary school psychologists or teachers...not what I will be. The focus on assessments reminded me of TFA--they would LOVE this book.

This workbook accompanied the Academic Skills Problems full text. I thought the workbook was beneficial in that it broke down each step in identifying student problems in an organized and detailed manner. Examples were provided alongside the explanation. The pages are reproducible, encouraging application.

Topics covered: interviewing teacher/parent/child
assessing to determine problem areas
observation methods
interventions
progress monitoring

A good resource.
