"The primary focus and goal of Assessing Learners with Special Needs: An Applied Approach, Fifth Edition, by Terry Overton is to provide students with a practical, applied approach for learning about the complex procedures of the assessment process. To achieve this goal, the author integrates cases throughout the text to facilitate reader comprehension of difficult concepts. In addition, the author presents these concepts in a step-by-step manner and then creates opportunities for students to check their understanding of these concepts through practice exercises."--BOOK JACKET. |
