Best practices related to assessment, consultation, and intervention have been extensively documented in the school psychology literature, providing ample empirical support. However, despite this vast knowledge base, many practitioners continue to rely on outdated and ineffective assessment practices, educational interventions, and therapies, many of which lack robust research support. Recognizing the need for change, the editors of The Desk Reference have set out to provide practitioners, academics, and students with a comprehensive compendium of current, evidence-based, and state-of-the-art best practices in education and psychology.

The Desk Reference offers a systematic and step-by-step approach to addressing diverse populations and important niche matters confronting school personnel. It is replete with evidence-based practices that can be immediately implemented by practicing professionals. The foundation of evidence-based best practices lies in the pursuit of what works, and when services are effective, they yield consistent, efficacious, and documented benefits.

Comprised of contributed chapters from renowned school psychology authors, The Desk Reference emphasizes the sound application and comprehensive coverage of five topical sections: Assessment and Intervention (Cognitive, Academic, Social Emotional, Neuropsychology); Consultation; Medical Problems; Diversity in Learning; and Crises, Conditions, and Responses. This comprehensive, detailed, and empirically supported resource renders The Desk Reference an ideal, practical go-to guide for all school-based professionals, including classroom teachers, counselors, social workers, and school psychologists.

By embracing the latest research and evidence-based practices, The Desk Reference empowers practitioners to deliver the highest quality services to their students and clients. It serves as a valuable resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers seeking to enhance the outcomes and well-being of students and communities. With its comprehensive coverage and practical insights, The Desk Reference is poised to make a significant impact on the field of school psychology and beyond.
