School psychologists are increasingly engaged in service provisions for students eligible for special education services under the eligibility category of autism, including conducting school-based assessments and evaluations. Evaluations occur for a variety of reasons such as special education eligibility decision-making, treatment and intervention planning, and progress monitoring. Publications in school psychology journals emphasizing autism spectrum disorder (ASD) assessment and evaluation are vital to quality training and practitioner utilization of quality practices. In the current study, researchers conducted a systematic review of publications in 10 school psychology journals from 2007 to 2017 to assess the current state of ASD assessment and evaluation research in the field of school psychology. Implications for researchers, trainers, and practitioners are discussed.
