Wisc-iv Clinical Assessment And Intervention

E-Book Overview

WISC IV refers to the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, one of the most popular measures used wordwide for measuring children's intelligence. The second edition of the WISC-IV Clinical Interpretation and Intervention includes 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 clinician's needs in using and interpreting this test. As the WISC-V is not due out until 2013, this book will be timely for many years.
