What are the areas of academic abilities assessed on achievement tests
math skills, reading skills, written expression, subject specific (science, social studies, etc.)
What four subtests are NOT timed on the WAIS
SI, DS, VC, and IN
This percent is the majority of the bell curve
68 ish
This construct is used to describe general intelligence on XBASS software
G-Value
In CSISD, what composite can you obtain for a second IQ score when considering ID and on what instrument
Gc-Gf on WJ
What is the age range for the WJ-IV
2 - 80+
What two indices on the WISC are somewhat combined to make one index on the WAIS?
Visual Spatial Index and Fluid Reasoning Index on the WISC are similar to the Perceptual Reasoning Index on the WAIS (BD, MR, VP)
What number often represents statistical significance?
0.05
If you want to learn about visualization skills, you would administer what subtest on the WISC
Block Design
Explain the criteria for SLD-BR/FR AND Dyslexia in parent/teacher friendly language
weakness in basic reading and/or reading fluency
weakness in a cognitive component (Ga, Gr, OP)
Unexpectedness when considering other academic and cognitive information
What is the grade range for essay comprehension on the WIAT-4
3rd - 12th grade
What two subtests make up the Reading core composite on the WIAT-4
In CSISD, Wecshler tests use 10 points to describe this?
One standard deviation
WIAT stands for
The Wechsler Individual Achievement Test
Describe the components of the Dysgraphia criteria in parent/teacher friendly language
inefficient or illegible handwriting as a primary
may cause secondary consequences such as low spelling, low writing volume, etc.
weakness in graphomotor or orthography
Unexpectedness when considering other academic and cognitive information
What is the age range for the WIAT-4
4-50
What two tests fall under the verbal comprehension index on the WISC-V?
Similarities and Vocabulary
This term means a range of values so defined that there is a specified probability that the value of a parameter lies within it.
Confidence Interval
I measure math word problems on the WJ-IV
Applied Problems
What SLD model does CSISD use (must same name and acronym)
Cattel-Horn-Carrol
What are the age ranges for DAS-II English Early Years Upper and Lower, Spanish Early Years, and School Age?
English EY-Upper=3:6-6:11 (normed up to 8:11)
English EY Lower= 2:6-3:5
Spanish EY= 2:6-6:11
School Aged= 7:0-17:11
What colors DO NOT count on the WIAT- Oral Word Fluency Color
Black-white or White-black, white with polka dots, red swirls, and items/animals made up of multiple colors (cookies, spaghetti, tiger, dog)
----------------------------------------
Credits are given for Black, White, and ranges of color (blue, light blue, baby blue) and color mixes (greenish-black, greyish pink)
Page 97 in scoring manual for "Other Responses" such as banana, brick, asparagus, elephant, beaver, which all count because they are solid colors.
In CSISD, <90 on a composite indicates
A normative weakness
These two subtests make up the Working Memory Index on the WISC-V
Digit Span and Picture Span
Define/Describe: XBA, XBASS, CHC, DD/C
XBA- Cross Battery Assessment(using multiple batteries for composite) You would not use XBA if you use the WJ.
XBASS- Cross Battery Assessment Software System, the software CSISD uses for composites when using multiple batteries
CHC- Cattel-Horn-Carrol Theory classifies cognitive skills within seven clusters of abilities that demonstrate moderate to highly significant correlations to academic achievement skills.
DD/C- Dual Discrepancy/Consistency model- The model the CSISD uses to identify patterns of strengths and weaknesses for SLD- involves combining clinical judgement with assessment data
