TLDR
In this paper, an alternative assessment model for the evaluation of children with reading problems is proposed based on lessons learned from the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (K-ABC) and their implications for future directions are identified.Abstract:
When the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (K-ABC ; A. S. Kaufman & N. L. Kaufman, 1983a, 1983b) was published just over 10 years ago, it had many unique features, including its information processing model and specific recommendations for educational remediation. Although the test has received much attention because of these characteristics, the K-ABC has also been the subject of much controversy. Through consideration of some of these arguments, lessons that researchers in the field of child assessment may learn from the K-ABC and their implications for future directions are identified. Based in part on lessons learned from the K-ABC, an alternative assessment model for the evaluation of children with reading problems is proposed at the end of this article.read more
