[QUOTE="Martie, post: 45940, member: 284"] Since the WJ cognitive abilities test also has an achievement test, and the WIAT is an achievement test that is normed on the same population as the WISC series, the SD should have chosen one from each. This makes direct comparisons between ability and achievement problematic. I doubt this was an accident. The only justification for giving the WJ cognitive is it contain one unique item found on no other test. Otherwise, like the RIAS, it is given only because it is cheaper than a WISC. The BASC is the "standard" behavior scale and also has a student form that should be given to difficult child (for students over age 8.) FYI Martie [/QUOTE]
