4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I have purchased other books from the "Essential" series and this one is by far the best. It provides information about the history of school neuropsych, as well as information about assessing each area of functioning. There is a nice "sample" report as well and helpul tips throughout. I have already incorporated some of the ideas from the book into my reports. I highly recommend this book. The only negative is that the author lists different types of tests for each area of assessment, but does not interject his opinion in terms of which tests he thinks provides the best information in that particular area. In any event, I would definitely recommend this book to anyone that evaluates children for learning issues, etc.
