Reviews

The case studies are thorough and the questions at the end of chapters are very helpful. -- Roger A. Olsen, The University of St. Thomas The Casebook is an excellent way to introduce students to the real-life presentation of clinical disorders by way of actual case material. The developmental perspective is a strength of this book and distinguishes it from others available in the field. -- Jennifer Connolly, York University I thought the appendices were the most unique part of the book. The Systems of classification appendix, which specifically includes information related to ADA, IDEA, and section 504 is crucial for those students who will be working in a school setting. The guidelines for interpretation of test scores and assessment information is handy for all students who will be providing assessment services, regardless of the setting. -- Deborah Harris O'Brien, Trinity Washington University The text is well written and the materials are up-to-date. The strength of the text is on case formulation and it's the best that I have seen in the market. -- Dan O. Nyaronga, SUNY-Empire State College
