Customer Reviews

Very helpful resource

As a clinical child psychologist, I have found this book helpful in both clinical practice and in my role as a college professor. I even used this book as one of the required texts to complete a project in a graduate level course I taught. Several students in that class mentioned that they wished to share this book with their school administrators for use with other projects. I strongly recommend this book for those interested in learning about this topic, as well as those looking to understand grant writing for such initiatives.
