Educational tests and measurements, Child development evaluation 

Authentic Assessment of the Child with Special Needs will serve as a basis for effective educational programming resulting in successful student outcomes. This book is primarily intended for SPED students and practitioners, as well as educators who deal with a diverse student population. Parents of children with special needs, the allied health professionals (occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech-language pathologists), behaviorists, psychologists, social workers, disability and inclusion advocates, and anyone who would like to learn more about the “what, why, and how” of authentic assessment of the child with special needs, may likewise benefit from reading this book.

Through this book, children with special needs would be better appreciated and recognized for their unique abilities and potentials, as well as pave the way for the development of a more appropriate, balanced, and relevant curriculum and the formulation of an Individualized Educational Plan (IEP) that would highlight the child’s strengths and celebrate his or her individuality.
