Whether you're a student preparing for clinical work or an experienced practitioner seeking to refine your assessment skills, Essentials of WISC-V Assessment provides the comprehensive guidance you need to administer, score, and interpret this widely-used intelligence test with confidence.
While the WISC-V serves as the world's most widely-used intelligence test for children, gaining meaningful insights requires proper administration and scoring. This book goes beyond basic instructions to offer practical tips that enhance assessment accuracy. You'll discover numerous case studies illustrating real-world issues, from identifying specific learning disabilities to assessing English language learners and gifted children.
The guide delivers step-by-step guidance through the entire assessment process, from initial administration through score interpretation. Special attention is devoted to challenging cases—children with significant learning difficulties, English language learners, and those requiring nondiscriminatory assessment approaches. You'll learn to link assessment findings to interventions based on each child's unique strengths and weaknesses, making your evaluations truly actionable.
Sample reports demonstrate how WISC-V assessment results may be connected to accommodations, modifications, and compensatory strategies that facilitate positive outcomes. The companion software (purchased separately) provides a user-friendly tool for producing psychometrically sound interpretations, though this comprehensive guide stands alone as an essential resource for both students and practitioners.
Essentials of WISC-V Assessment is the all-in-one practical resource that transforms complex assessment procedures into manageable, meaningful evaluations that truly benefit the children you serve.
