Assessing Students with Special Needs

by John J. Venn

This easy-to-follow book provides all the information readers need in order to assess children with mild to moderate learning disabilities. This one volume gives ways to use formal and informal assessments, tests, and measurements to help all ages, all grade levels, and all abilities grow, develop, and learn to the maximum extent possible. While the focus of this book is on school-based assessment of children with special needs, it also covers assessment of those with ADHD, the latest laws and regulations, linguistic and cultural differences that affect assessment, the latest technological tools, portfolio assessment, and a complete reference for all of the measurements and tests presented. With its extensive coverage of assessment information, this book is a must-have for all schools, learning centers, and libraries. Parents of children with special needs will also find this book interesting and useful.
