This practical guide to the intellectual assessment of children and adolescents in schools is widely used, both by practicing school psychologists and by instructors and students in graduate school psychology programs. This second edition includes evidence-based best practices for the use and interpretation of intelligence tests in decision-making by counselors, teachers, administrators, and other school personnel. While the assessment of intelligence has long been mandated by law for eligibility determination for special education and related services, there is widespread disagreement about the use and interpretation of intelligence tests. This is the only intellectual assessment book to address this issue by critically reviewing the scientific evidence regarding the critical role played by intelligence tests in the schools for the determination of eligibility for special education and related services, alongside the plethora of practical information.

Nuanced yet accessible, this volume provides a comprehensive overview of numerous topics pertaining to the clinical assessment of intelligence of school-aged youth. Each chapter contains the latest research findings from the field and, throughout the text, there is a rigorous commitment to advancing empirically supported practice in general and evidence-based assessment in particular. In that way, this volume distinguishes itself from other available resources. Put simply, this is the book I have been waiting for!
