Description

Exploit the full potential of the WPPSI-IV with analysis from a couple of perspectives

Essentials of WPPSI-IV Assessment is a comprehensive guide to administering, scoring, and interpreting the recent 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 steer clear of them, and includes illustrative case studies based on data collected all the way through 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 fortify 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 a couple of theoretical and clinical perspectives. Topics include:

  • WPPSI-IV administration and clinical applications
  • Scoring, score analysis, and interpretation
  • Strengths and weaknesses of the WPPSI-IV
  • Differences across demographic groups

The book and accompanying CD also provide alternatives for situations in which published comparison scores might not be to be had or applicable to a particular child, and supplies composite scores aimed at facilitating WPPSI-IV interpretation from numerous theoretical approaches. Those who employ the WPPSI-IV should have a thorough grasp of the full potential of the tool, and Essentials of WPPSI-IV Assessment contains the insight and information that allow for deeper understanding.
