Description
WISC-IV Clinical Use and Interpretation provides comprehensive information on using and interpreting the WISC-IV for
clinical assessment and diagnosis. With chapters authored by recognized experts in intelligence research, test development, and assessment,
this will be a valuable resource to anyone using the WISC-IV in practice. This information is available nowhere else and is a unique
opportunity to understand the WISC-IV from the perspective of those who know it best. Most relevant to practitioners is the applied focus
and interpretation of the WISC-IV in psychological and psychoeducational assessment.
Divided into two sections, Section I discusses
general advances in the assessment of children's intelligence, and how the WISC-IV differs from the WISC-III. Also discussed are the
clinical considerations of this test, including the meaning of the FSIQ and four Index scores and how the WISC-IV relates to other assessment
measures, including the WISC-IV Integrated. Section II discusses the use of WISC-IV with exceptional children, including those with learning
disabilities, giftedness, mental retardation, hearing impairment, ADHD, neuropsychological injury, and/or cultural and ethnic differences.
