Hi all,
I'm currently a practicing psychometrist and am trying to determine whether I can replace the WJ with the KTEA. I do a lot of assessments to identify both learning disabilities as well as giftedness.
I've been using the WIAT in most of my psychoeducational assessments, but know that some psychologists prefer the WJ. My question is, for the purposes of my assessments, would it be feasible to replace the WJ with the KTEA, and just have the KTEA or WIAT be part of a standard psych-ed battery? I know the KTEA allows students to refer back to reading content when answering questions. This test format is often easier for students above Grade 2 with expressive-language or vocabulary delays.
But are there certain aspects of academic achievement captured by the WJ that just aren't by the KTEA/WIAT?
Thanks in advance for the guidance!
Deciding between certain tests of academic achievement involves careful consideration of various factors to ensure that the selected assessment is appropriate and aligned with the specific needs and goals of the evaluation. Here are some key steps to help you make an informed decision:
Remember that the selection of an appropriate test requires a thoughtful and informed decision-making process. Consider the unique needs of the student or group being assessed, and choose a test that provides the most accurate and relevant information for making educational decisions.
