This text provides an overview of alternatives to traditional assessment methods. I would recommend you buy it from a bookstore if you dont want to deal with shipping issues. Its not worth saving a few dollars just to spend it in gas money tracking down your package, without any assistance from amazon customer service. also, if you do purchase it here, make sure to check if they charge you for free-shipping. They gladly processed a refund when I brought it to their attention, but I only noticed it by chance so double check the total.

Shapiro’s book is a well written summary of a CBA approach to assessment. It lays out the basics and includes the BOSS, a very useful observation tool. Even though this is a revision, some of the information is a bit dated for the current state of practice. The forms provided, either in this edition or within the workbook if that is also purchased, are very useful and provide a structure to gathering information that can be very helpful. Worth purchasing as a part of an assessment library. Amazon’s purchase and shipping process was flawless and efficient as usual.
