The above answers are pretty much correct, but the assessment is usually tailored to the child's needs, aka what the suspected disability may be.

Answer 4

It is a test that is given to a student usually who is suspected of having a learning disability. It is a test to determine what is the difference between a standing IQ and a performance IQ. This is the test that finally convinced that dept. of ed that I knew what I was saying when I said that she was learning disabled. Her standing IQ is 127 but her performance Iq was 90 and that meant that there was a deficit between what she knew and what she could prove that she knew doing school work. My daughter can do any subject if you can allow her to do it verbally ask her to write it she has another issue. It was this that was able to prove that she wasn't learning the way that she needed to.
