Intelligent Testing with the WISC-V eBook

Intelligent Testing with the WISC-V provides comprehensive, step-by-step guidelines to administering, scoring, and interpreting the latest edition of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children. This indispensible resource introduces an expanded test structure with additional subtests. Each chapter offers valuable advice on clinical applications. The authors illustrate how to gain an understanding of a childs specific areas of strength and weaknesses and how to translate these cognitive assets and deficits into appropriate suggestions for intervention. Provides a broad-based interpretive system that integrates cognitive neuroscience, developmental psychology, clinical neuropsychology, and CHC theory. This allows examiners to select the method of interpretation of profiles, indexes, and bio-behaviors that is most conducive to their personal orientation and best meets the need of each particular child referred for examination. Includes clinical case reports that illustrate a range of issues including specific learning disabilities, autistic spectrum disorder, traumatic brain injury, intellectual disability/mental retardation, ADHD, and intellectual giftedness. Each case report includes examples of administration and scoring. Focuses on interpreting and communicating test results so that the test is used as a helping agent rather than as an instrument for placement or labeling. Includes four independent reviews of the traditional and digital versions of WISC-V and WISC-V Integrated.
