Renée M. Tobin & Alvin E. House 
DSM-5® Diagnosis in the Schools [EPUB ebook] 

This key resource helps practitioners optimize their diagnostic practices in Pre K–12 settings. Now significantly revised for DSM-5, the book cuts through the overwhelming length and complexity of the diagnostic manual by focusing thematically on the most common child and adolescent concerns. Tips are provided for diagnostic decision making and coding, and technical terms are demystified. Emphasis is given to using diagnosis as a foundation for effective intervention. The book highlights links to special education eligibility under IDEA and discusses ethical and professional issues in school-based assessment.
