Gresham, Frank M.

The multitrait multimethod model of test validation is a conceptual approach for collecting, organizing, and integrating this information in making classification and intervention decisions for handicapped children. Typical problems with assessment practice are discussed with suggestions for overcoming these difficulties using the multitrait-multimethod conceptualization of the assessment process. (Author/PN)
