DESCRIPTION
From the Back Cover
The Cross-Battery Assessment approach—also referred to as the XBA approach—is a time-efficient assessment method grounded solidly in contemporary theory and research. The XBA approach systematically integrates data across cognitive, achievement, and neuropsychological batteries, enabling practitioners to expand their traditional assessments to more comprehensively address referral concerns. This approach also includes guidelines for identification of specific learning disabilities and assessment of cognitive strengths and weaknesses in individuals from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.
Like all the volumes in the Essentials of Psychological Assessment series, Essentials of Cross-Battery Assessment, Third Edition is designed to help busy practitioners quickly acquire the knowledge and skills they need to make optimal use of psychological assessment instruments. Each concise chapter features numerous callout boxes highlighting key concepts, bulleted points, and extensive illustrative material, as well as test questions that help you to gauge and reinforce your grasp of the information covered.
Essentials of Cross-Battery Assessment, Third Edition is updated to include the latest editions of cognitive ability batteries, such as the WISC®-IV, WAIS®-IV, and WJ III™ COG, and special purpose cognitive tests including the WMS®-IV and TOMAL®-II. This book now also covers many neuropsychological batteries such as the NEPSY®-II and D-KEFS™ and provides extensive coverage of achievement batteries and special purpose tests, including the WIAT®-III, KM-3, WRMT™-III and TOWL-4. In all, this book includes over 100 psychological batteries and 750 subtests, all of which are classified according to CHC, and many according to neuropsychological theory. This useful guide includes a timesaving CD-ROM, Essential Tools for Cross-Battery Assessment (XBA) Applications and Interpretation, which allows users to enter data and review results and interpretive statements that may be included in psychological reports.

This book is designed for professionals who mainly need to use multiple testing measures in order to discern specific weaknesses that contribute to problems children have in learning. For example, if a child is having difficulty reading, the book helps you design a test to figure out what cognitive issue may be impeding their abilities in that area. It includes information on what areas of major intelligence tests reflect particular issues related to core learning capabilities (math, reading, writing, etc.) to aid in test design as well as information on how to interpret data from such testing. It also includes an overview of the theories that go into intelligence testing and what various components are designed to measure, but this overview is not for novices. The book is incredibly dense and deep and is clearly designed for those well-versed in theories of human cognitive capacity and learning. As another reviewer has noted, it is full of jargon and abbreviations that those unfamiliar with the field will have difficulty understanding and reads like an advanced textbook. This is not a short-coming of the book, but simply a statement of fact. It did not detract from my sense that it is a powerfully useful tool in creating or administering cross-battery assessment tests.
The particular strengths of this book beyond the cogent explanations of the theories behind the tests as well as rational critical analysis of the weakness of XBA (cross battery assessment) is the pages and pages of tables that provide handy reference for professionals. A great deal of work has been saved for those who wish to locate particular resources in designing an XBA. The book is also structured with boxed out sections reminding one of or emphasizing certain points.
