This book provides any individual involved in the special education process a comprehensive overview of the most frequently used tests for diagnosing suspected disabilities- including intelligence, perception, and language to achievement, psycho/ social behavior, and social maturity- from early childhood to adolescence. Filled with practical tools, information, and suggestions, this guide explores the various stages of evaluation, interpretation, diagnosis, prescription, and remediation.
