• Students with developmental disabilities (DD) display characteristics that present unique challenges to practitioners conducting psychoeducational assessments. Developmental characteristics can vary widely across disorders and among individuals with the same disorder. Evaluators must be prepared to respond appropriately to unique needs so that assessments validly inform educational decision-making for identified students. This requires a thorough understanding of how various psychoeducational assessment practices contribute to the decision-making process for students with disabilities. This chapter reviews the process and issues affecting the psychoeducational assessment of students with DD and the importance of linking assessment outcomes to intervention.
