School psychologists must be equipped to work with students from many different backgrounds. Today's students include numerous immigrants and refugees, as well as native-born students from diverse backgrounds. Drs. Achenbach and Rescorla will delineate challenges for assessing behavioral, emotional, and social problems among today's very diverse students. They will then present findings from many societies that provide foundations for evidence-based assessment of students' functioning in relation to multicultural norms. Practical applications of multicultural assessment will be demonstrated with cases of students from different backgrounds who present different kinds of challenges.
