The comprehensive reference for informative WISC-V assessment
Essentials of WISC-V Assessmentprovides step-by-step guidance for
administering, scoring, and interpreting the Wechsler Intelligence Scale
for Children (WISC-V). Packed with practical tips for more accurate
assessment, this informative guide includes numerous case studies that
illustrate a range of real-world issues. Special attention is devoted to
the assessment of individuals who have significant learning
difficulties, such as learning disabilities, and who speak English as a
second language. The WISC-V is a valuable assessment tool, but it must
be administered and scored appropriately to gain meaning from score
interpretation. This book gives you an in-depth understanding of the
WISC-V assessment and interpretive process to assist practitioners in:
- Conducting efficient and informative WISC-V assessments
- Utilizing WISC-V in cross-battery and neuropsychological assessment
- Applying WISC-V in the identification of specific learning
disabilities
- Utilizing WISC-V in nondiscriminatory assessment of English language
learners
- Writing theory-based WISC-V reports
- Linking WISC-V findings to interventions based on individual
performance
As the world's most widely-used intelligence test for children, the
WISC-V is useful in diagnosing intellectual disabilities and specific
learning disabilities, as well as in identifying giftedness. In this
volume, sample reports demonstrate how WISC-V assessment results may be
linked to interventions, accommodations, modifications, and compensatory
strategies that facilitate positive outcomes for children. Essentials
of WISC-V Assessment is the all-in-one practical resource for both
students and practitioners. The book can be used on its own or with
companion software (purchased separately) that provides a user-friendly
tool for producing psychometrically and theoretically defensible
interpretations of WISC-V performance, and may be used to develop
interventions based on each child's strengths and weaknesses.
