Building foundational whole-number knowledge can help put K-5 students on the path to academic success and career readiness. Filling a gap for school practitioners, this book presents step-by-step guidelines for designing and implementing classwide, small-group, and individual interventions for mathematics difficulties. Effective procedures for screening, assessment, intervention selection, and progress monitoring are described and illustrated with detailed case vignettes. User-friendly features include 20 reproducible handouts and forms; the print book has a large-size format with lay-flat binding for easy photocopying. Purchasers get access to a Web page where they can download and print the reproducible materials. This book is in The Guilford Practical Intervention in the Schools Series, edited by T. Chris Riley-Tillman.
This book provides easy-to-access, reliable, up-to-date information on the numerous advances in research, assessment, treatment, and service delivery for clinicians, academics, administrators and other mental health professionals. It examines issues surrounding intellectual and developmental disabilities in a real-world sociopolitical framework. In addition, the book summarizes the major domains and emerging subspecialties of this vast area into one useful reference and so offers a wide range of assessment and diagnostic tools and tactics, including cognitive and adaptive behavior assessments.

ìBy far, the most comprehensive and detailed coverage of pediatric neuropsychology available in a single book today, Davis provides coverage of basic principles of pediatric neuropsychology, but overall the work highlights applications to daily practice and special problems encountered by the pediatric neuropsychologist.î Cecil R. Reynolds, PhD Texas A&M University "The breadth and depth of this body of work is impressive. Chapters written by some of the best researchers and authors in the field of pediatric neuropsychology address every possible perspective on brain-behavior relationships culminating in an encyclopedic textÖ. This [book] reflects how far and wide pediatric neuropsycholog...
This book serves as an introduction to the field of school psychology. School psychology has evolved over the course of its existence due to several controversies, and how researchers and practitioners responded to those controversies. This text presents those debates and provides needed historical context to explain the field and facilitate deeper understanding in students.
"Widely regarded as the authoritative work on the principles and practice of applied behavior analysis (ABA), this indispensable volume is now in a revised and expanded second edition. Leading experts present evidence-based procedures for supporting positive behaviors and reducing problem behaviors with children and adults in diverse contexts. Chapters delve into applications in education, autism treatment, addictions, behavioral pediatrics, and other areas. Covering everything from behavioral assessment and measurement to the design and implementation of individualized interventions, the Handbook is a complete reference and training tool for ABA practitioners and students.

"This book is intended to provide child-focused mental health providers with information on how to address common emotional and behavioral problems exhibited by preschool- and kindergarten-age children. Our main focus is to provide practical and effective interventions that can easily be implemented by clinicians working in educational settings, as well as by clinical psychologists and other mental health providers working with children in nonschool settings. In addition, we emphasize working with parents of young children who are exhibiting behaviors of concern"--
"Chapter 1 introduces the process and purpose of FBA, situates FBA within a problem-solving framework, and explores the philosophical assumptions of a functional assessment approach. Chapter 2 highlights professional and ethical standards. Chapter 3 reviews the conceptual foundations of FBA. Chapter 4 examines the role of "private events" such as medical issues, emotions, and thoughts on behavior. Chapter 5 considers the contribution of executive skill delays to occurrences of interfering behavior. Chapter 6 introduces, discusses, and illustrates the Behavior Analytic Problem Solving model. Chapter 7 reviews indirect FBA procedures. Chapter 8 provides an overview of behavior recording procedures and descriptive FBA methods. Chapter 9 discusses experimental FBA procedures. Chapter 10 focuses on identifying and assessing the effectiveness of reinforcers for strengthening socially-appropriate replacement behaviors. Chapter 11 shows the process of designing behavior intervention plans on the basis of results. Chapters 12-14 provide examples"--
Serving students with academic deficiencies necessitates communication and collaboration among professionals from several disciplines. Academic Assessment and Intervention brings together divergent approaches in order to demonstrate that scientific evidence, rather than biases or previous practice, must determine assessment practices that are selected and used for particular purposes. Similar to a handbook in its comprehensive topical coverage, this edited collection provides a contextual foundation for academic assessment and intervention; describes both norm-referenced and curriculum-based assessment/measurement in detail; considers the implications of both of these assessments on ethnically diverse populations; provides a clear link between assessment, evidence-based interventions and the RTI model; and considers other important topics related to this area such as teacher behavior. Intended primarily for graduate-level courses in education, school psychology, or child clinical psychology, it will also be of interest to practicing professionals in these fields.
A landmark text, this volume systematically addresses the issues involved in developing behavioral assessment strategies for educational--rather than clinical--settings. The theoretical and conceptual underpinnings of widely used assessment methods are discussed, and their strengths and limitations evaluated. Attention is given to legal and professional issues, decision making processes in educational diagnosis, and culturally sensitive assessment practices.
