The Wechsler Intelligence Scale is the most widely used intelligence test for children worldwide. WISC-V introduces new subtests, composite scores, process scores, error scores, and scaled scores as a more complex and accurate means of assessing cognitive abilities.WISC-V Assessment and Interpretationprovides practical information for clinicians on selection of subtest measures, administration, and interpretation.
New subtests are described along with tips for accurate administration and scoring. Full Scale IQ is identified as important for predicting relevant behaviors, and primary index scores for characterizing the childs strengths and weaknesses. Classroom indicators of low scores on each of these abilities are identified, with suggested interventions, accommodations, and instructional strategies for low scorers. Coverage includes ethnic differences for the Full Scale IQ and each primary index score, along with evidence of the profound influence of parental attitudes and expectations. Several other societal and contextual factors relevant to understanding racial/ethnic differences are presented. Two chapters review use of the WISC-V for identifying learning disabilities, testing of individuals with dyslexia, and best-practice recommendations to ensure accurate diagnosis and intervention. Concluding chapters describe advances in the Q-interactive system platform allowing administration of the WISC-V on iPads and other tablets and how clinicians can tailor assessment using select WISC-V subtests and features.

We also wish to dedicate this book to the family of David Wechsler. They have given their unwavering support to our work over the years to update, improve, and revise the WISC. Davids sons Adam and Len, and Adams two children Daniel and Neil, have generously engaged in the many updates and revisions to the scales over the years. They have been especially supportive of moving to the digital format through Q-interactive which we could not have done without their support and encouragement. They have helped make the work of carrying on the legacy of David Wechslers contributions to assessment both a pleasure and honor.
