Participants will explore theoretical models of achievement in reading, writing, and mathematics, and learn how to apply current research to the interpretation of WIAT-4 data. Utilizing examples in error analysis, attendees will identify patterns that inform targeted, evidence-based interventions. The session will also cover procedures for identifying specific learning disabilities using WIAT-4 results and incorporating assessment findings into actionable strategies that support academic success. Price includes up to 40 people per session.</p>

<p>Training orders will be processed within 5-7 business days of order placement. A training consultant will contact you to coordinate your training. Training dates are scheduled no earlier than 5 weeks from order placement.</p>

						<p>The WIAT-4 Scoring manual states, &quot;Order of letters should be used when determining whether or not a letter receives credit, including alphabetical order or spelling of words.&quot; This guidance is part of the section on using context clues to score the task, but does NOT mean that the letters must be in alphabetical order to receive credit. Letter order is a strategy that should be used to help determine which letter a student wrote, if needed. If the student did not use alphabetical order, then letters would still receive credit if they were legible.</p>
