Many schools support pupils and students in examination situations with additional working hours or similar if learning difficulties can be demonstrated.
- Schools need appropriate psychological examinations, a detailed interpretation and specific recommendations for each pupil
- We have many years of experience, especially in co-operation with European and international schools
The WISC & the WIAT
Educational assessments require the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) and the Wechsler Individual Achievement Test (WIAT) because they provide a comprehensive evaluation of a child’s cognitive abilities and academic achievement.
The WISC measures intellectual functioning, helping identify strengths, weaknesses, and potential learning difficulties, while the WIAT assesses specific academic skills like reading, writing, and math. Together, they offer a detailed picture of a student’s learning profile, ensuring accurate diagnoses and tailored support.
These assessments align with EU and international standards, making them essential tools for effective educational planning and intervention.
What to expect on the day of testing
On the day of testing, we begin with a warm welcome and a brief discussion with parents to explain the procedure in more detail. The assessment starts with the WISC, which takes approximately two hours to complete. After this, the child has a 30 to 45-minute break to rest and recharge. We then proceed with the WIAT, which lasts between 2 to 2.5 hours, depending on the child’s pace. In total, the appointment lasts around five hours, including breaks. While most children manage well with the scheduled pauses, we also offer the option to split the testing over two days if needed. Please note that assessments must be conducted one-on-one, without parents in the room. Parents are welcome to wait in the practice or explore the nearby area during the session.
