AIM High

""Pei and Daniels offer a model for assessments aimed at making assessments more empowering and useful for parents and students by seeking to understand student functioning and potential by developing relationships and clearly communicating in order to provide more effective supports for children and youth.""--Gabrielle Wilcox, Associate Professor of School and Applied Child Psychology in the Werklund School of Education, University of Calgary ""AIM High is an excellent resource for caregivers, psychologists, and allied professions. It presents the reader with a fresh take on and ways of thinking about psychological assessment. The authors bring to life how intentional communication through relationship-building makes psychological assessment a collaborative process. At the heart of an authentic psychological assessment practice is motivation theory and understanding what families and children value and want for the present and future.""--Christina Rinaldi, Professor of School and Clinical Child Psychology, University of Alberta ""Pei and Daniels have produced an engaging and thoroughly modern integration of motivation and social justice constructs with the traditional psychologists' roles of assessment and intervention. A thought-provoking set of ideas to help school psychologists and other professionals reconsider the assumptions, processes, and goals of psychoeducational assessment.""--Steven R. Shaw, Chair of the Department of Educational and Counselling Psychology, McGill University
