Culturally Informed Approaches to Behavioral and Educational Assessment

“An invaluable and greatly needed resource that provides culturally responsive and evidence-based information on child psychological assessment in educational settings. The book is engaging and clear, with informative examples provided throughout. This handbook will be an asset to any graduate-level course on child and adolescent assessment, in particular behavioral or cognitive assessment. School and clinical psychology graduate students will benefit from the definitions of key terms, applied examples, and easy-to-read, informative tables and figures.”

“Edited by preeminent, high-impact scholars, this book will doubtless become a go-to resource for child-focused assessors—from trainees to advanced practitioners—in clinical and school settings. There is no other book that combines a comprehensive review of state-of-the-art assessment strategies with an emphasis in every chapter on culturally responsive practices. This groundbreaking contribution will increase the likelihood of accurate assessment that directly translates to effective intervention for diverse child and adolescent populations.”
