How to Detect Reading/Learning Disabilities Using WISC-III

This book provides classroom teachers, reading teachers, and teachers of students with specific learning disabilities information about one of the most widely used intelligence tests, the third edition of the "Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-III)." It also explains the use of intelligence testing in the diagnosis of reading/learning disabilities. Author Evelyn Searls acquaints educators with the organization and administration of the WISC-III, the tasks involved in each subtest, and what each subtest is designed to measure. She also suggests procedures for analyzing WISC-III scores in ways that may yield valuable information for the teacher as he or she seeks to remediate a student's reading/learning disability.
