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
