This volume-the third edition of Essentials of Processing Assessment-provides practitioners with a framework for planning, conducting, and interpreting an assessment of psychological processes, especially from a pattern-of-strengths-and-weaknesses (PSW) perspective. It also offers an overview of evidence-based interventions for some psychological processes. The approach is systematic and elucidates a challenging type of evaluation that usually requires multi-battery assessment. The author sets the stage by (a) reviewing cognitive processing theories; (b) applying a PSW model for specific learning disability (SLD) identification; (c) reviewing the relations between psychological processes and specific types of achievement, and (d) providing detailed information on how to assess the 14 processes in his processing model. Details are also provided on major cognitive and memory scales, as well as scales specifically designed for processing assessment. Through step-by-step guidelines and worksheets, the author walks the reader through analysis and interpretation of test results from a psychological processing and PSW perspective. The final component of the evaluation process is diagnosis. To that end, this text provides guidance on how to determine significant intraindividual strengths and weaknesses among psychological processes and how to use those patterns to identify students with SLD. It is our belief that the insights and practices gained from the authoritative author of this volume will lead to more accurate diagnoses and more effective treatment for individuals who struggle with learning
