The implications of some legislation. and professional standards pertaining to the assessment and classification of children with special regard for their individual rights will be discussed. Ways of working within the establishment, while using legislation, professional standards, and innovative assessment methods will be illustrated with personal anecdotes and case material. Since there are so many tests, varied settings and populations tested, this article will be based on personal experiences as a clinician in my former position at a state diagnostic center which utilized a team approach. While the emphasis is on children's rights, much of the material to be discussed could, in principle, be applied to all aspects of testing and individual rights.
