This session introduces the fourth of edition of the Wechsler Individual Achievement Test (WIAT-4:2020), comprehensive assessment of oral language, reading, written expression and mathematics. The presenter will describe the WIAT-4 relative to its predecessor (WIAT III; 2009), focusing on updated norms, new subtests and composites, revised subtests with new items and improved content coverage, and modifications to administration and scoring procedures. As a result of this session, participants will be able to describe changes from the WIATIII to the WIAT-4; list subtests and composites new to WIAT-4; and discuss how to use WIAT-4 results to determine eligibility for specialized services and identify goals for intervention.
The presenter for this session are Kathleen Woodward and Debra Mayfield, consultants with Pearson, the publisher of the WIAT-4.
