Recenzii
"Testing Students With Disabilities is a 'must buy' for individuals involved in the education of students with disabilities, whether they are currently acting as or studying to be service providers. My hat is off to the authors for breaking down this critical information in a way that is understandable and easy to share."
"This book is a valuable tool for practitioners who want immediate understanding and hands-on application of testing students with disabilities. The authors give specific examples that school district personnel can adapt to meet their school's context and needs."
"I enjoyed reading the material! The newly revised edition shows that the authors desired to keep the material up-to-date and to impress upon the readers the importance of the laws, but more importantly, the spirit in which the laws were enacted."
"This is a seminal work on the 'how to' of testing, assessment, and accountability for students with disabilities. Not only do the authors help bring this most important topic into clarity, but they also share practical ways to implement their suggestions immediately by providing the tools to get started."
