Disability Services personnel often find themselves encountering a wide range of psycho-educational records submitted by students to document their learning disabilities. This updated “field guide” to diagnostic assessment explains the rationale and current state of LD evaluation, introduces you to each of the common evaluation tools and what they test, and outlines the principles behind assessment. The author, on the faculty of McDaniel College who has an extensive career in disability, clearly facilitates your understanding of the material presented and how it applies to your work.  Foundational information for those newer to the field, and a concise reference manual for seasoned professionals, this book is an essential for the DS bookshelf.
