Each case study could be presented either as a writing assignment or test question. As writing assignments, cases give students opportunities to review, evaluate, and apply information from the text. As exam questions, they allow instructors to assess students’ mastery of material at a deeper level of processing than most short-answer or multiple-choice questions.

Perhaps most importantly, these vignettes help students to focus on children and families, rather than on disorders. I hope that these case studies give instructors greater freedom to engage and challenge students in new and creative ways.
