A clinical instrument adapted specifically for teachers by David Wechsler
WIAT-IIlUK-T has been approved by the STEC for inclusion on the list of approved tests. Additional guidance will follow later this year.
The Wechsler Individual Achievement Test – Third UK Edition for Teachers (WIAT-IIlUK-T) is the latest assessment from the world-renowned Wechsler range. This clinical reading and spelling assessment has been specifically adapted for teachers with training in special educational needs.
Results obtained from the WIAT-IIIUK-T can assist in:
- identifying academic strengths and weaknesses of a student
- informing decisions regarding eligibility for educational services
