The WISC-V-CDN gives school psychologists, clinical psychologists and neuropsychologists flexibility and interpretive power to get a broader view of a child's cognitive abilities.
Benefits
- Increase construct coverage without increasing test time.
- Identify and diagnose intellectual and learning disabilities/disorders.
- Evaluate cognitive processing strengths and weaknesses.
- Assess giftedness and the impact of brain injuries.
- Significantly reduce testing time to obtain FSIQ.
- Supports more flexible evaluation of specific learning disabilities and two major approaches to specific learning disability identification: (1) pattern of strengths and weaknesses analyses and (2) ability-achievement discrepancy analyses.
Features
WISC-V delivers more flexibility, more content and more interpretive power.
- Three new primary subtests — Visual Puzzles, Figure Weights, and Picture Span — measure the ability to analyze and synthesize information, quantitative reasoning and induction, and visual working memory.
- Five new complementary subtests assess cognitive processes important to academic achievement in reading, math, and writing.
- Simplified instructions with reduced vocabulary level, shorter discontinue rules and refined scoring criteria.
- Full scoring reports and interpretive reports include narrative interpretation scores.
- Separate visual spatial and fluid reasoning composite scores results in greater interpretive clarity.
- Statistical links to two measures of academic achievement: KTEA-3 and WIAT-III-CDN. See a comparison between WISC-V-CDN and WIAT-III-CDN.
Scales
Sample Reports
Score reports automatically convert total raw scores to subtest scaled scores and sums of scaled scores to composite scores, including the FSIQ and numerous index scores. Interpretive reports include narrative interpretation of scores.
