The Role of Tests in Assessing Intellectual Functioning of Children with Special Needs.

Mearig, Judith S.

Peabody Journal of Education, v58 n2 p108-18 Jan 1981

The alternatives to relying exclusively on intelligence testing include ability tests, individual education plans, and beginning the teaching/programing process with assessment. (FG)
