“A sorely needed addition to the scholarly literature—it’s about time someone wrote this book! I recommend it for assessment courses.”

—Matthew Brodhead, PhD, College of Education, Michigan State University


“As Coordinator of Fresno State's Master’s Program in ABA, I am not aware of any other resources that focus on measurement principles for behavior analysts. This is a useful text for courses that address the design, evaluation, and implementation of assessment tools in ABA.”

—Marianne L. Jackson, PhD, BCBA-D, Department of Psychology, California State University, Fresno


“Finding a text that offers the depth required for graduate-level training in assessment and measurement while remaining clear, accessible, and appropriate for advanced undergraduates is rare, but Padilla and Morgan achieve this balance effectively. This book is a valuable resource for teaching the essential skills that support the development of students, researchers, and practitioners in behavior analysis. The clear, measurable learning outcomes at the beginning of each chapter, along with the thoughtful reflection and discussion questions at the end, connect the readings to meaningful class dialogue and help foster an active learning environment. This text will serve as a powerful tool for anyone committed to strengthening students’ understanding of assessment and measurement.”
