Review Collaborative Assessment

Editorial Review:

Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindess--Carol A. Layton

All professionals who work with students with visual impairments ought to read this book and highlight various sections for distribution to other IEP team members as guides and valuable resources. All members of IEP teams, including parents, are encouraged to read the book in its entirety and to recommend various pieces, when appropriate, to prepare personnel for their role on the IEP team. This book prepares others to take part not only in assessment, but in the subsequent development of accurate and appropriate IEP goals. In short, Collaborative Assessment offers a sufficient base of knowledge for participation in the assessment and IEP processes that should enhance the education of students with visual impairments.
