interpretation that go beyond the information provided in the test
manuals. A complete guide is included for digital administration and
scoring using Q-interactive, automated scoring using Q-global, and hand
scoring.
Essentials of KTEA-3 and WIAT-III Assessment makes score interpretation
easier by explaining what each score measures and the implications of a
high or low score. Learn how to increase the diagnostic utility of the
KTEA-3 and WIAT-III by taking full advantage of their capabilities for
error analysis, qualitative observations, and progress monitoring, and
by pairing the results with measures of cognitive ability such as the
WISC-V and KABC-II. Clinicians will find a helpful discussion of how
these tests may be interpreted using either a CHC or neuropsychological
approach to assessment. Case studies illustrate the use of these tests
to respond to various referral concerns. Annotations within each case
report provide a window into the mind of the examiner throughout the
assessment process.
This book provides a depth and breadth of understanding that is
appropriate for all assessment professionals, regardless of their level
of training or experience. Extensive illustrations, call-out boxes, and
"Test Yourself" questions help students and clinicians quickly absorb
the information they need. Essentials of KTEA-3 and WIAT-III Assessment
is the clear, focused guide to using these tests to their fullest
potential.
