Thursday, 21st November 2019

Summary
WISC and WIAT assessment results present parents and educators with useful information about a child's cognitive strengths and performance challenges, whilst also providing recommendations about how to help them better access the learning environment.

Key points that will be discussed

* WISC and WIAT assessments, why and when are they used, and what they measure.
* Subtests and the 'spiky' profile
* Working Memory and Processing Speed - are these results significant?
* Putting it all together - what can help in the classroom.
