This webinar will discuss how and why administering both WAIS-5 and WMS-5 as part of a comprehensive evaluation (and integrating their results) can help you draw more and better conclusions from your evaluations. After reviewing the flexibility of WMS-5 administration and how to determine the most appropriate option for a given evaluation, we will look at the functional areas covered by pairing the WMS-5 with the WAIS-5 and how integrating and comparing scores from the two measures can enhance interpretation of your clients’ overall functioning.

In this webinar, we will review the new subtests on the WAIS-5, including their content, necessary materials, and instructions for administration and scoring. We will emphasize the differences between administration and scoring on the paper and digital versions of the test and provide general tips to ensure that users have confidence in their ability to smoothly and efficiently utilize the new subtests.

This webinar will introduce you to the main changes to WAIS-5, focusing on those relevant to the test’s clinical utility, psychometrics, and structure. Topics covered will include revision objectives, subtest modifications, new composite scores, administration changes, scoring options, normative sample characteristics, psychometric properties, and special group studies.

Participants will also be familiarized with the benefits related to the normative sample, test structure, administration time, reliability and validity, special group studies, new subtests, and new Primary and Ancillary Index Scores.
