Helping Children Learn: Intervention Handouts for Use at School and Home
JACK A. NAGLIERI & ERIC B. PICKERING (2010)
Now with 27 new handouts and the Spanish translations users have been asking for, the revised edition of this popular book offers a fresh, practical approach to teaching struggling students in elementary through high school. Applying their expert knowledge of how children learn, the authors developed more than 75 highly effective intervention handouts- ideal for teachers to use in the classroom and share with parents for use at home. The second edition is set up like the first: there is a short questionnaire that helps school psychologists pinpoint students's strengths and needs, and teachers use the handouts to address the areas that need work.
Handbook of Executive Functioning
SAM GOLDSTEIN & JACK A. NAGLIERI (EDS.) (2013)
The Handbook of Executive Functioning cuts through the confusion, analyzing both the whole and its parts in comprehensive, practical detail for scholar and clinician alike. Background chapters examine influential models of EF, tour the brain geography of the executive system and pose salient developmental questions. A section on practical implications relates early deficits in executive functioning to ADD and other disorders in children and considers autism and later-life dementias from an EF standpoint. Further chapters weigh the merits of widely used instruments for assessing executive functioning and review interventions for its enhancement, with special emphasis on children and adolescents.
Handbook of Intelligence: Evolutionary Theory, Historical Perspective, and Current Concepts
SAM GOLDSTEIN, DANA PRINCIOTTA, & JACK A. NAGLIERI & ERIC B. PICKERING (2010)
Numerous functions, cognitive skills, and behaviors are associated with intelligence, yet decades of research has yielded little consensus on its definition. Emerging from often conflicting studies is the provocative idea that intelligence evolved as an adaptation humans needed to keep up with – and survive in – challenging new environments.
The Handbook of Intelligence addresses a broad range of issues relating to our cognitive and linguistic past. It is the first full-length volume to place intelligence in an evolutionary/cultural framework, tracing the development of the human mind, exploring differences between humans and other primates, and addressing human thinking and reasoning about its own intelligence and its uses. The works of pioneering thinkers – from Plato to Darwin, Binet to Piaget, Luria to Weachsler – are referenced to illustrate major events in the evolution of theories of intelligence, leading to the current era of multiple intelligences and special education programs. In addition, it examines evolutionary concepts in areas as diverse as creativity, culture, neurocognition, emotional intelligence, and assessment.

The Assessment of Cognitive Processes: The PASS Theory of Intelligence
J.P. DAS, JACK A. NAGLIERI & JOHN R. KIRBY (1994)
In eleven comprehensive chapters the authors provide a complete summary of the PASS (Planning, Attention, Simultaneous, and Successive) model, detail the experimental research, compare the relationship between the model and traditional IQ tests, and recommend a remediation procedure for cognitive dysfunctions. Included are a complete overview of the authors' theoretical approach, separate chapters dealing with each of the major components of the theory, a comprehensive description of the development of assessment procedures, including the DN:CAS battery, a look at the detection of deficits and remediation, and a final chapter on the authors' views of the future.

Helping All Gifted Children Learn: A Teacher's Guide to Using the NNAT2 is a teacher's guide to using the NNAT2 for instruction of gifted children, especially those from culturally and linguistically diverse settings. The authors provide an explanation of the need for equitable assessment of gifted children and a method to identify them. The use of a nonverbal test of general ability is clearly explained and a discussion of exactly what such a test measures is provided in the first three chapters. The remaining three chapters cover teaching strategies, programming, activities by content area, and program evaluation methods.
Autism
Interventions for Autism Spectrum Disorders: Translating Science into Practice
SAM GOLDSTEIN & JACK A. NAGLIERI (2013)
Interventions for Autism Spectrum Disorders is an essential resource for researchers, professionals/practitioners, and clinicians in a wide array of fields, including clinical child, school, and developmental psychology; child and adolescent psychiatry; education; rehabilitation medicine/therapy; social work; and pediatrics.
The first volume dedicated solely to its topic, Interventions for Autism Spectrum Disorders provides a comprehensive overview of programs currently in use. Contributors explore programs focusing on long-term outcomes, home- and classroom-based strategies, resilience training for parents, and pharmacological management of symptoms. Background chapters review issues in reliability and validity of interventions and evaluating treatment effectiveness. And an especially cogent chapter discusses the centrality of treatment integrity to best practice.
Assessment of Autism Spectrum Disorders First Edition
SAM GOLDSTEIN & JACK A. NAGLIERI (2009)
Significant progress has been made in assessing children with autism spectrum disorders, but the field has lacked a single, comprehensive resource that assembles current best practices within a unified assessment framework. This authoritative book demonstrates how to craft a complete, scientifically grounded, and clinically useful portrait of a child's strengths and difficulties in social behavior, language, and communication, intellectual functioning, motor skills, and other key areas of impairment and comorbidity. Leading experts illustrate ways in which school and clinical practitioners can integrate data from a variety of sources to improve the accuracy of diagnosis and inform the development of individualized interventions.

Assessing Impairment: From Theory to Practice
SAM GOLDSTEIN & JACK A. NAGLIERI (EDS.) (2009)
Impairment and disability are widely used terms, yet considerable disagreement exists as to their relationship—especially when impairment means different things to different professionals in the fields of mental health, medicine, and education. Although diagnostic criteria for various disorders are clearly detailed in the DSM-IV and elsewhere, criteria for impairment remain elusive. And patients with severe limitations but minimal symptoms, or the reverse, further complicate the discussion. The first in-depth treatment of the theory, definition, and evaluation of this core concept, Assessing Impairment: From Theory to Practice cuts through the confusion and cross-talk. Leading scholars and clinicians offer a robust evidence base for a much-needed reconceptualization of impairment within the context of diagnosis and disability, arguing for a wide-ranging quality-of-life perspective. This contextual approach to assessment goes beyond mere symptom counting, resulting in more accurate diagnosis, targeted interventions, and improved patient functioning.
Encyclopedia of Child Behavior and Development
