The book is divided into six parts. Part I covers legal, policy, and psychometric issues affecting all types of assessment. Part II covers testing accommodations, documentation, and score reporting. These two sections, as well as Part VI on additional sources of information, should be of interest to all assessment professionals. The remaining three parts focus on specific types of assessment, covering the assessment of people with disabilities in clinical and counseling settings, educational settings, and assessment for employment, certification, and licensing.

A three-year follow-up of a national sample of 419 youth employment training program participants and356 nonparticipants of comparable background showed that participants obtained more months of employment and had greater job satisfaction. These statistically significant differences were sustained even after controlling for the effects of age, sex, race/ethnicity, economic status, and local unemployment rate as well as for preprogram levels of education and reading ability. Program effectiveness, as determined by par ticipant-control differences in months of employment, was greater for minority than nonminority youth and greater for females than for males.
