Features and benefits
- Advances the assessment of strengths and weaknesses in the cognitive processes of students; information on special predictive composite scores for identifying disabilities in both reading and math is available in the Interpretive Manual.
- Helpful in diagnosing a wide variety of developmental disabilities and exceptionalities and also may be useful in clinical and neuropsychological assessment, early childhood assessment, psychoeducational evaluations for special education placements, and more.
- Enhanced nonverbal/low-verbal content requires minimal or no verbal responses from the examinee.
- Useful in assessing LEP/ELL, deaf and hard-of-hearing, and autistic populations.
- Extensive high-end items measure the highest levels of gifted performance, while improved low-end items better measure low functioning children and adults.
- Ideal for measuring basic psychological processes in problem-solving models like RTI.
