The book is full of important information. As I read through each chapters, I learned a lot with the information that I was reading and some of the information I read are an eye opener. I would personally recommend this book to everyone to buy.

I had to purchase this book for a graduate course about assessing students with special needs. I’m only about halfway through the course, but I can already tell that I won’t be selling it after the course is over. This will be a useful book to return to again and again as I assess and work with students with disabilities. Each of the five parts (introduction to special education assessment, skills for special educators, assessment for special education eligibility, assessment of academic skills, and important considerations) provides several in-depth chapters delving into the intricacies of choosing and administering assessments and then using those results in meaningful ways.
