Practical Handbook of School Psychology: Effective Practices for the 21st Century

Bringing together leading authorities, this state-of-the-science handbook delves into all aspects of problem-solving-based school psychology practice. Thirty-four focused chapters present data-based methods for assessment, analysis, intervention, and evaluation, with special attention given to working in a response-to-intervention framework. Tools and guidelines are provided for promoting success in key academic domains: reading, writing, and math. Social-emotional and behavioural skills are thoroughly addressed in chapters on self-management interventions, peer and family support, cognitive-behavioural interventions, medication use, and more.

This accessible work is an invaluable reference for practitioners and an ideal resource for school psychology training programs. It will also be particularly useful for practitioners shifting their practice to support response to intervention (RTI) in general and special education.
