Review:

'Praise for the previous edition: "A comprehensive, multi-informant workbook suggesting the need for cooperation among individuals to evaluate data from several sources...This manual provides excellent tools that, in my opinion, could be extremely valuable to those persons involved in diagnostic work as well as those persons involved in planning, implementing, and managing interventions.' - Psychological Examiner

'The format of the workbook allows for convenience through the arrangement of norms and corresponding instruments. Each section is self explanatory and allows for questions to be answered before the instrument is used. A wide variety of instruments allows for evaluation to flow into program planning and management. The many aspects of this process are covered and suggestions for implementation provided. This creates an opportunity for the workbook to be used by diagnosticians, as well as educators and parents.' - Julie A. Schuckman, Director of Special Services, Poplar Bluff Public Schools
