The comprehensive reference for informative WISC-V assessment Essentials of WISC-V Assessment provides step-by-step guidance for administering, scoring, and interpreting the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-V). Packed with practical tips for more accurate assessment, this informative guide includes numerous case studies that illustrate a range of real-world issues. Special attention is devoted to the assessment of individuals who have significant learning difficulties, such as learning disabilities, and who speak English as a second language. The WISC-V is a valuable assessment tool, but it must be administered and scored appropriately to gain meaning from score interpretation. This book gives you an in-depth understanding of the WISC-V assessment and interpretive process to assist practitioners in: Conducting efficient and informative WISC-V assessments Utilizing WISC-V in cross-battery and neuropsychological assessment Applying WISC-V in the identification of specific learning disabilities Utilizing WISC-V in nondiscriminatory assessment of English language learners Writing theory-based WISC-V reports Linking WISC-V findings to interventions based on individual performance As the world's most widely-used intelligence test for children, the WISC-V is useful in diagnosing intellectual disabilities and specific learning disabilities, as well as in identifying giftedness. In this volume, sample reports demonstrate how WISC-V assessment results may be linked to interventions, accommodations, modifications, and compensatory strategies that facilitate positive outcomes for children. Essentials of WISC-V Assessment is the all-in-one practical resource for both students and practitioners. The book can be used on its own or with companion software (purchased separately) that provides a user-friendly tool for producing psychometrically and theoretically defensible interpretations of WISC-V performance, and may be used to develop interventions based on each child's strengths and weaknesses. Review: Great Information on WISC-V - Good Textbook. Like any textbook, you can be forced to buy it but beware, your professor may never actually end up using it. That being said, invaluable if you're going into a field where you need to know how to administer the WISC-V. Review: WISC-V - If you are studying to give the WISC or in school to be psychometrist, this book is great! It’s very detailed and provides you with invaluable information! A must read!

Good resource
I use this as a resource when writing reports. The days of de-emphasizing the FSIQ are over, and the authors explain why quite well. Good to reference when writing up educational implications. Only 4 stars because there aren't enough illustrative case reports. Especially for cases that have clinically significant differences between subtests within indexes. They are pitching their XBASS software throughout the whole book. Demerits for that as well. I have my opinions about the utility of XBASS but this is a review for the book, so I'll stick to it. For me, it's was worth buying.

Must Have
This offers in-depth case reports as well as an exhaustive coverage of administration, scoring, and interpretation. By including appendices that are available online, WISC-V is invaluable to anyone wanting to use the new assesments. My husband uses this book in his own clinical practices. He says the neuropsychological assessment along with the X-Bass system is really useful. This book is already seeing hard use from him. Flanagan and Alfonso are recognized experts in assesment. This guide gives step by step how-to on working with the WISC-V. Acknowledged as the world's most-well-known and widely-used test, this book is an invaluable tool for identifying children with intellectual disabilities and specific learning disabilities, as well as those who are gifted. It really is a must-have for anyone working with children in these arenas.
