Description

INTERPRET THE WISC®–V TO HELP DIAGNOSE LEARNING DISABILITIES AND TO TRANSLATE PROFILES OF TEST SCORES TO EDUCATIONAL ACTION

Intelligent Testing with the WISC®–V offers the comprehensive guidance you need to administer, score, and interpret WISC®–V profiles for informing diagnoses and making meaningful educational recommendations. Experienced professionals provide valuable advice with regard to clinically applying the WISC®–V in an effort to understand a child's strengths and weaknesses—and to create a targeted, appropriate intervention plan.

The WISC®–V plays an integral role in evaluating children for learning and intellectual disabilities, developmental and language delays, and gifted and talented classifications. As such, understanding how to use the latest version of the WISC is extremely important.

  • Explore all aspects of both the conventional WISC®–V and the WISC®–V Digital
  • Read objective, independent test reviews of the WISC®–V from highly respected expert sources
  • Review and gain insight from 17 clinical case reports that spotlight experiences of children and adolescents referred to psychologists for diverse reasons such as of reading problems, specific learning disabilities, ADHD, intellectual giftedness, and autistic spectrum disorders
  • Learn how a broad-based, multi-faceted approach to interpretation that calls upon several scientific concepts, such as cognitive neuroscience, clinical and school neuropsychology, cognitive processing, and the CHC model, can benefit children
  • Use the results of the WISC®–V as a helping agent to assist in creating the best intervention plan, rather than allowing test results to dictate placement or labeling

Intelligent Testing with the WISC®–V is an indispensable resource for professionals who work with the WISC®–V, including school psychologists, clinical psychologists, educational diagnosticians, and more.
