Finding Tests and Measures: Children's Tests

Directories contain a brief description, the name and address of a contact person or organization, and often include references that discuss or evaluate the test. The description may include information on the availability, reliability and validity of the test. The directories often contain subject indexes as well as author and title indexes.
