Description
The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children: Fourth Edition (WISC-IV) is one of the most often used measures to assess intelligence and
cognitive functions in children, ages 6-16 years. The second edition of the
WISC-IV Clinical Assessment and Intervention will
include new information obtained from the clinical use of the WISC-IV in practice. Information on the basic use of the assessment tool
is condensed from three chapters into one, with four new chapters discussing how to use and interpret WISC-IV with additional clinical
populations. These new populations include pervasive Developmental Disorders including autism, Social and emotional disorders, psychiatric
disorders, and medical disorders that may affect intelligence. An additional new chapter discusses intervention planning across patient
populations. Each of the chapters (revised original chapters and new chapters) will additionally include case studies including diagnosis
and intervention.
Overall, the material in the book is 65% changed, new, and updated. These changes make the second edition better
able to meet a clinician's needs in using and interpreting this test.
