(Child A) He’s screaming, and we don’t know why. Pick him up; he screams. Put him down; he screams. It never seems to end. He’s not old enough to talk, but we know he’s not okay. He’s not happy. He’s not hungry or tired, but something is wrong. He can’t talk yet. He can’t tell […]
The CogAT is a group administered cognitive abilities test that assesses verbal, quantitative, and non-verbal abilities. The CogAT is NOT an IQ test; it focuses specifically on reasoning skills that are related to school success.
The Weschler Intelligence Scale for Children – Fifth Edition, or WISC-V, is an individually administered intelligence test, or IQ test, designed for children between the ages of 6 and 16.
