Description
The Woodcock Johnson IV batteries (WJIV Cog, WJIV ACH and WJIV OL) are the new assessments tools that SASC assessors can use, and more assessors need to decide whether to purchase the tests. This webinar offers the opportunity to evaluate the use of these tests.
This session will explore the use of the Woodcock Johnson IV batteries (WJIV Cog, WJIV ACH and WJIV OL) within assessments that follow the SASC report format:
- What is it like to use the batteries within such an assessment?
- What are the practical and diagnostic similarities and differences from other more familiar cognitive and attainment tests?
- What strengths do the batteries offer?
- What potential pitfalls are there, and how can those pitfalls be addressed or mitigated?
The session will follow STEC/SASC’s guidance on the use of each of these batteries. The purpose will be to give a deeper understanding of the Woodcock Johnson IV batteries to enable delegates to make informed decisions about what these batteries may offer to their own practice and how they could use them. As the presenter’s own experience is working with adults, the emphasis of the session will be on using WJIV with adults.
In the course delegates will consider in detail:
- What is it like to use the batteries within such an assessment?
- What are the practical and diagnostic similarities and differences from other more familiar cognitive and attainment tests?
- What strengths do the batteries offer?
- What potential pitfalls are there, and how can those pitfalls be addressed or mitigated?
