Description:
Exploit the full potential of the WPPSI-IV with analysis from
multiple perspectives


Essentials of WPPSI-IV Assessment is a comprehensive
guide to administering, scoring, and interpreting the latest
edition of the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of
Intelligence, which represents a major revision of the prior
edition. Step-by-step guidelines walk readers through the process,
and new Behind the Scenes boxes provide unprecedented
insight into the new subtests and the test development process. The
book highlights common errors and complex aspects so readers can
avoid them, and includes illustrative case studies based on data
collected during the scale's standardization to assist in proper
administration and interpretation. The companion CD provides
software that automates score interpretation, and supplies users
with tools to enhance WPPSI-IV administration and report
writing.


Used to evaluate for learning or intellectual disabilities,
developmental or language delays, or gifted and talented
classification, the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of
Intelligence is the most widely used assessment of intelligence for
young children. Essentials of WPPSI-IV Assessment applies an
interpretive approach that allows flexibility in response to the
real constraints and challenges inherent in working with children,
describing performance in both normative and interpersonal contexts
to facilitate interpretive case formulations from multiple
theoretical and clinical perspectives. Topics include:


WPPSI-IV administration and clinical applications
