Psychoeducational Assessment and Report Writing by Stefan C Dombrowski

Psychoeducational Assessment and Report Writing by Stefan C Dombrowski

This textbook provides in-depth instruction for conducting psychoeducational assessments of children in grades K-12 and conveying results through detailed, well-written reports. It takes readers step by step through the assessment process – collecting data, writing reports, and communicating conclusions – for students with conditions spanning the range of IDEA classifications such as autism, learning disabilities, emotional disturbances, and conditions covered by Section 504. The book offers not only a broad understanding of assessment and communication skills, but also of the ethical, legal, cultural, and professional considerations that come with psychoeducational evaluation. And its sample reports model clear, well-organized results accessible to parents and caregivers as well as teachers and colleagues. Key areas of coverage include: • Assessment basics: the testing environment and protocols, interviewing, and observation. • Report writing section by section, from reason for referral to summary and recommendations. • Guidelines for oral reporting, with case examples. • Special issues in psychoeducational assessment and report writing. • Sample psychoeducational reports using this framework. Psychoeducational Assessment and Report Writing is an essential text for graduate students, researchers, professors, and professionals in child and school psychology; assessment, testing, and evaluation; social work; and psychological methods/evaluation.

“Psychoeducational Assessment and Report Writing provides the reader with a strong and detailed description of the processes and principles of psychoeducational assessment and report writing with the school-aged child… The chapters are well written and the author utilizes practical expertise with real-world examples that are easy to follow. ... The text is clear, detailed, and interesting. … Any professionals responsible for psychoeducational evaluations of school-aged children or trainers of these professionals will benefit from its content and practicality.” (Sofia Garza, Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, August, 2015)

“The version focused on the assessment required in the school set up. The key feature of the current book is practical and application orientated in developing the report. Thus, it is an outstanding resource book for practitioners, supervisors and trainees in psychology.” (T. S. Seemanthini, Disabilities and Impairments, Vol. 29 (2), 2015)
