Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Identification, Testing & Assessment Scoring WIAT-III into IAS-3 (Achievement)

Hi aeh.

Thanks for those insights.

I am left with two fundamental questions:

1. Is there any guidance from the IAS author, or any other authoritative source, about how the category names in Section VI are to be interpreted or translated from other instruments? (e.g. are they to be rigidly applied, or just suggestions?

2. Is there any evidence or theory-based rationale for using a sub-set of achievement scores in this context, instead of a full-scale measure if available, like the WIAT-III Total Achievement score?

regards
