A comprehensive review of the knowledge and skills needed to administer, score and interpret the new WISC®-V Assessment
Written by Dawn P. Flanagan and Vincent C. Alfonso—two experts in assessment—Essentials of WISC®-V Assessment offers practitioners step-by-step guidance for administering, scoring, and interpreting the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-V). The WISC-V is the world's most widely-used intelligence test for children and offers a tool for identifying children with intellectual disabilities and specific learning disabilities, as well as those who are gifted. Essentials of WISC-V Assessment is filled with practical suggestions for accurate assessment and contains illustrative, real-world case studies. In addition, this vital resource contains sample reports that show how WISC-V results are interpreted and reported using the Cross-Battery Assessment Software System (X-BASS) and linked to interventions that facilitate positive outcomes for children.
The companion software and a wealth of informative appendices that are available online facilitate WISC-V interpretation and assist the user in understanding test performance. As with all the volumes in the Essentials of Psychological Assessment series, this book is designed to help busy practitioners and school psychologists quickly acquire the knowledge and skills they need. The chapters feature numerous callout boxes highlighting key concepts, bulleted points, and extensive illustrative material, as well as test questions to help reinforce your grasp of the information covered.
