Excellent resource for selecting complex neuropsychological reports and applying them to children to not only make diagnoses, but to choose the most appropriate treatment/intervention as well.

I must admit that I am not the target audience for this book. I chose to read it because I am interested in the field of psychology and the idea of being a school psychologist is appealing.
The books lays out the issues facing the school psychologist today - the fact that more and more children are being diagnosed and treated for behavioral issues and disorders. It includes the available assessments as well as case studies. I think that any school psychologist would find this reference helpful.
