“Providing a logical developmental framework for assessment-based decision making with preschoolers, this book should be the primary text used in teaching early childhood assessment. It is a critical resource for any professional who is or will be involved in the comprehensive assessment of preschoolers.”

“Brassard and Boehm have crafted an excellent reference on state-of-the-art practices in the preschool assessment arena. Their perspective is grounded in evidence-based inquiry, rooted in an ecocultural model, appreciative of the sociopolitical climate in which assessment practices have evolved, and reflective of a strong developmental focus. This unique text will be useful to clinicians-in-training and working practitioners.”

—Richard A. Weinberg, PhD, University of Minnesota


“Drs. Brassard and Boehm have done a masterful job compiling information on child, parent and family, and environmental assessment scales and procedures. This book will doubtless become the most-used resource on preschool assessment by both students and practitioners. I anticipate it will be adopted for many different kinds of testing classes at both the master's and doctoral levels.”
