Presenter: Gloria Maccow, PhD

In conducting psychological evaluations, clinicians focus on the accuracy of the examinee’s responses as well as on the behaviors the examinee exhibits while solving problems. This emphasis on the quantitative results as well as on qualitative information is known as the process approach to interpretation. The purpose of this presentation is to describe how clinicians can use a process-oriented assessment, the WISC-V Integrated, to understand the cognitive abilities that contribute to a child’s performance on the WISC-V subtests. The presenter will describe how data from the WISC-V Integrated can enhance our ability to make diagnostic decisions and generate recommendations for interventions.
