Psychological Assessment of Dyslexia
John Wiley & Sons Inc (Verlag)
978-1-897635-53-7 (ISBN)
This book provides a refreshingly rational guide to the many issues involved in psychological assessment, taking dyslexia to be a remedial cognitive deficit. The author reviews the major tests in use for children and adults, while keeping the scientific purpose for their use firmly in view. Written primarily for assessment professionals, the book will appeal to parents and specialist teachers and all those with an interest in fair and objective methods for dealing with dyslexia.
