Download or read book Desk Reference in School Psychology written by Lea A. Theodore and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-12-22 with total page 881 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Best practices related to assessment, consultation, and intervention have been well-documented throughout the school psychology literature, with ample empirical support. Unfortunately, despite this vast knowledge base, many practitioners continue to use outdated and ineffective assessment practices, educational interventions, and therapies, many of which lack research support. The Desk Reference's editors aim to change that by providing practitioners, academics, and students with a compendium of current, evidence-based, and state-of-the-art best practices in education and psychology. The Desk Reference's comprehensive coverage of diverse populations and important niche matters confronting school personnel are systematically addressed in a uniform step-by-step manner replete with evidence-based practices that can be implemented immediately by practicing professionals. Doing "what works" is the basis of evidence-based best practices, and when services work, they lead to consistent, efficacious, and documented benefits. Composed of contributed chapters from leading school psychology authors, the Desk Reference emphasizes sound application and comprehensive coverage within five topical sections: Assessment and Intervention (Cognitive, Academic, Social Emotional, Neuropsychology); Consultation; Medical Problems; Diversity in Learning; and Crises, Conditions, and Responses. This comprehensive, detailed, and empirically supported resource renders the Desk Reference an ideal, practical go-to guide for all school-based professionals, including classroom teachers, counselors, social workers, and school psychologists.

This book was released on 2013-08-19 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neuropschology with Asians and Asian Americans Practical and Theoretical Considerations J. Mark Davis and Rik Carl D'Amato, editors The challenge of cultural competence for health providers is more than the recognition of other ethnicities: it entails the balancing of group and individual factors to apply relevant information in diagnostic and therapeutic settings. Particularly in need of culturally appropriate services are Asians and Asian Americans, populations that are diverse, growing, and underserved by Asian practitioners. Neuropsychology with Asians and Asian Americans takes cultural neuroscience to new levels in its variety and usefulness. Focusing on the largest groups of Far East and Southeast Asian descent, this leading-edge reference examines the influence of culture on psychological processes and identifies sociocultural factors as they influence neurological aspects of client presentation. This expert coverage goes beyond well-known constructs of "collectivism" and "family orientation" toward establishing an evidence base crucial to understanding, assessing, and treating Asian and Asian American clients, including: Linguistic factors and language assessment of Asians. Society and acculturation in Asian and Asian American communities Mental illness from Asian and Asian American perspectives. Understanding cognitive differences across the lifespan: comparing Eastern and Western cultures Clinical interviews and qualitative assessment with Asian clients Neuropsychological test selection with Asian clients Unique in its scope and detail, Neuropsychology with Asians and Asian Americans is a necessary resource for neuropsychologists and rehabilitation specialists as well as social workers and clinical, counseling, and school psychologists.
