“I like the idea of various disabilities being addressed and the way the authors have laid that aspect out.”

“A chapter on each disability, focused on assessment. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a textbook with that focus.”

“I’m glad to see a chapter devoted to multiple disabilities.”

“A comprehensive and valuable guide to assessments for each category of disability.”

“The authors have thought through the complexity of assessment.  The backgrounds of the authors do suggest that they have brought their vested years of experience and knowledge to this project....I do like the focus on a disability determination approach.  This organization supports the concept of providing thorough assessments in all areas of a suspected disability and would most likely dispel the idea that an assessment for special education determination is not a cookie-cutter approach.”

“This textbook is a comprehensive resource covering multiple practical aspects regarding student assessment and identification.  The text explores IDEA disability categories against the backdrop of assessment and student needs.  It will help teachers and assessment personnel understand the current federal law(s) regarding special education assessment and identification.”

“I would describe it as somewhat of a cross between an introductory survey of exceptionalities book (because of its emphasis on the characteristics of specific disability groups) and a book on assessment for eligibility.”

“I would certainly need to see the completed text but based on the Table of Contents I believe the book addresses some important areas that seem to covered somewhat perfunctorily in other texts-disabilities in the context of assessment is one major area of strength as is making connections between diagnosis and instruction.”

“It is an excellent example of how a text should be written and organized.”

“The Special Educator's Guide to Assessment presents a clear, easy to follow recipe for comprehension of a complicated area in teacher education for special educators. Explanations of concepts are applied in scenarios and with clear language.”

“This text provides a broad overview of assessment for the disability categories outlined in IDEA.”

“The book provides the reader with an understanding of the assessment within the special education process. The book provides a summary and overview of the assessment process. The information provided is useful and valuable to special education practitioners.”
