| Summary |
The book is divided into six parts. Part I covers legal, policy, and psychometric issues affecting all types of assessment. Part II covers testing accommodations, documentation, and score reporting. These two sections, as well as Part VI on additional sources of information, should be of interest to all assessment professionals. The remaining three parts focus on specific types of assessment, covering the assessment of people with disabilities in clinical and counseling settings, educational settings, and assessment for employment, certification, and licensing.
