A Guide to Vocational Assessment, Fifth Edition
Paul W. Power

This fifth edition of the guide acknowledges the changes in social and economic systems facing adults with disabilities. It suggests multiple evaluation approaches, and insights, that can change the difficult to possible, and eventually, the probable.

While many chapters underscore the use of traditional evaluation approaches, others operationalize vocational assessment as an individualized, creative, empowering, holistic process, and experience of self-discovery. 

This edition’s 15 chapters incorporate these issues, provide updated, expanded and new material, and emphasize identification of career-related strengths, and potential, to acquire specific skills. A new chapter focuses on the transition-aged student, a topic receiving increased attention in vocational rehabilitation.

The Guide includes an experiential workbook, intended for use with the text, which provides discussion questions and exercises. Reproducible forms rare provided in the Appendix and CD-ROM.

A Guide to Vocational Assessment, Fifth Edition, includes the 573-page textbook, a 66-page Workbook and a CD-ROM.
