Essentials of Assessing Infants, Toddlers, and Preschoolers
About this book
A practitioner-oriented guide to the most important assessments and evaluation techniques for children ages 0-5
Many assessment professionals leave their graduate education programs without any formal training in assessing infants and young children. Although there are assessment textbooks covering subsets of this age range, Essentials of Assessing Infants, Toddlers, and Pre-Schoolers is uniquely designed for busy practitioners, and it covers the full range of assessments for 0-5 years old.
With medical advances and new treatments, there is a higher prevalence of children with complex medical and psychological needs. Additionally, changing educational policies often affect assessment practices. Assessment professionals must have current information to effectively assess young children and assist in planning interventions. As with all volumes in the Essentials of Psychological Assessment series, this book consists of concise chapters featuring callout boxes highlighting key concepts, easy-to-learn bullet points, and extensive illustrative material, as well as test questions that help you gauge and reinforce your grasp of the information covered.

Essentials of Assessing Infants, Toddlers, and Pre-Schoolers is a valuable addition to the libraries of developmental practitioners, school and clinical psychologists, pediatricians, speech-language pathologists, and others responsible for the assessment of very young children.
