The most up-to-date resource of comprehensive information for
conducting cross-battery assessments
The Cross-Battery assessment approach–also referred to as
the XBA approach–is a time-efficient assessment method
grounded solidly in contemporary theory and research. The XBA
approach systematically integrates data across cognitive,
achievement, and neuropsychological batteries, enabling
practitioners to expand their traditional assessments to more
comprehensively address referral concerns. This approach also
includes guidelines for identification of specific learning
disabilities and assessment of cognitive strengths and weaknesses
in individuals from culturally and linguistically diverse
backgrounds.
Like all the volumes in the Essentials of Psychological
Assessment series, Essentials of Cross-Battery Assessment, Third
Edition is designed to help busy practitioners quickly acquire
the knowledge and skills they need to make optimal use of
psychological assessment instruments. Each concise chapter features
numerous callout boxes highlighting key concepts, bulleted points,
and extensive illustrative material, as well as test questions that
help you to gauge and reinforce your grasp of the information
covered.
Essentials of Cross-Battery Assessment, Third Edition is
updated to include the latest editions of cognitive ability test
batteries , such as the WISC-IV, WAIS-IV, and WJ III COG, and
special purpose cognitive tests including the WMS-IV and TOMAL-II.
This book now also overs many neuropsychological batteries such as
the NEPSY-II and D-KEFS and provides extensive coverage of
achievement batteries and special purpose tests, including the
WIAT-III, KM-3, WRMT-3 and TOWL-4. In all, this book includes over
100 psychological batteries and 750 subtests, all of which are
classified according to CHC (and many according to
neuropsychlogical theory. This useful guide includes a timesaving
CD-ROM, Essential Tools for Cross-Battery Assessment (XBA)
Applications and Interpretation, which allows users to enter data
and review results and interpretive statements that may be included
in psychological reports.
Note: CD-ROM/DVD and other supplementary materials are
not included as part of e Book file.
