Assessing Students with Special Needs [with eText Access Code]

by John J. Venn

This comprehensive, yet straightforward text covers the processes and procedures for assessing students with special needs at all age levels, beginning with preschoolers and continuing into adulthood. A broad range of performance levels is also discussed, including mild, moderate, and severe disabilities, features include: strong coverage of curriculum-based assessment integrated throughout the text (emphasis in Part IV), including a discussion of portfolio assessment; a case or mini-scenario at the beginning of each chapter to help facilitate reader comprehension and understanding of core chapter content; diversity and technology issues meaningfully integrated into each chapter to make the discussion relevant to the topic at hand; and issues, content, and concepts related to specific CEC and PRAXIS standards addressed in each chapter; a listing of these standards can be found at the end of each chapter.
