Assessment in Special Education, 6th Edition, is a practical textbook designed to guide educators and clinical specialists through the complete evaluation sequence in school settings. Authors Roger A. Pierangelo and George A. Giuliani examine how assessment functions in practice, tracking students from the early identification of high-risk children through to final educational placement decisions.
Core coverage encompasses foundational assessment methods, essential statistical concepts, legal and ethical standards, and considerations regarding cultural and linguistic diversity. To address evolving professional requirements, this 6th Edition adds four new chapters focusing on contemporary field issues and detailing the practitioner's role across all assessment phases.
Practical approaches throughout the text prepare readers to conduct structured parent-teacher conferences and participate productively in school eligibility committee meetings. This balanced framework supports college and university students in special education courses, special education instructors, practicing educators, school administrators, school psychologists, and related therapists.
