a Tree? Is this a fairly normal phenomenon?
If
so,
over how long a period
of
time
does
it
persist? Indefinitely? Until the grief is resolved? On the other hand, is the
tendency to perceive portions
of
the Tree as dead a reflection
of
unresolved, un-
healthy grief, and of a need for therapeutic assistance in order to become strong
and healthy and “alive” again?

THE ASSESSMENT
OF
MINORITY STUDENTS
:
ARE ADAPTIVE BEHAVIOR SCALES THE ANSWER?

The use
of
adaptive behavior scales in the assessment
of
minority children was
discussed. Positive and negative characteristics
of
the scales developed by
Mercer and Lambert were identified and discussed. Recommendations included
cautions
for the use
of
such scales in the evaluation
of
culturally different
minority children.
Any discussion on adaptive behavior scales must be presented within the
historical context of the misplacement of minority students into classes
for
the
mentally retarded.
A
great deal has been written about the
gross
overrepresentation
of
minority students in classes for the mentally retarded. Tarjan, et al.,
(1973)
noted that an unusually large number of Mexican-American and black individuals
had been labeled mentally retarded. According to Mercer
(1971),
there are four-
and-a-half times more Mexican-American and twice as many blacks in classes for
the retarded as would be expected from their proportion in the population. Tied
very closely to the problem is the whole issue of discriminatory tests and testing
procedures.
During the past few years, the testing, labeling, and placement of minority
children into classes for the retarded has been a very popular and controversial
issue. Some
of
the factors which have either contributed to
or
resulted from this
controversy are as follows:
1.
Individual tests
of
intelligence such
as
the Stanford Binet and Wechsler
Scales have been normed on groups
of
predominantly white and middle-
class subjects (Burrello, et al.,
1972).
These tests do not, therefore, take
into account the body of knowledge and experience that has been acquired
by
a
child from a different cultural background.
