Configuring WIAT-III UK Reports

For WIAT-III^UK, there are two reports available: the WIAT-III^UK Score Report and the WIAT-III^UK Parent Report.

WIAT-III^UK Score Report

This table lists all of the WIAT-III^UK Score Report options.

Field Name	Description
Tables and Graphs	Tables and Graphs selections include: Subtest Score Summary Subtest Standard Score Profile Supplemental Subtest Score Summary Cumulative Percentages Subtest Component Score Summary Composite Score Summary Composite Score Profile Composite Standard Scores Differences Pattern of Strengths and Weaknesses Model* Ability Achievement Discrepancy Analysis Skills Analysis Goal Statements Subtest Standard Score Differences* Note: Except for the Pattern of Strengths and Weaknesses Model, checkboxes are checked by default, unless the criteria was set previously and run on a prior report. In this case, settings for the previous report are returned. *Selecting Pattern of Strengths and Weaknesses Model or Subtest Standard Score Differences will provide additional Report fields that are specific to these tables and graphs.
Norms	Aged Based (4:0 to 25:11 years)
Significance Levels	Radio buttons, are set to the first available selection of each item by default. However, if the criteria was set and run on a previous report, the settings from the previous report are returned. Confidence Intervals - Used to determine the reliability of the estimate. Increasing the desired confidence level will widen the confidence interval. Subtest Level Differences - Differences between subtest standard scores (i.e., subtract the standard score for one subtest from the standard score for another subtest, the difference between them is a subtest level difference). Composite Level Differences - Differences between composite standard scores (i.e., subtract the standard score for one composite from the standard score for another composite, the difference between them is a composite level difference). Pattern of Strengths and Weaknesses Discrepancy - The pattern of differences between a student’s Processing Strength (generally the student’s highest index score on an ability test) and his/her Processing Weakness (generally the student’s lowest index score on an ability test) and between a student’s Processing Strength and his/her Achievement Weakness (this can be any WIAT-IIIUK score, usually it will be a standard score below 85. It can be at the subtest level or at the composite level). The pattern is important because both of these differences must be significant for the student to fit the profile of a student with a learning disability.

Subtest Standard Score Differences

If the Subtest Standard Score Differences option is selected from the Score Report options, the Subtest Standard Score Differences field will display in the Report Configuration window.

To use this screen, choose a subtest from the Subtest 1 list with a corresponding subtest from the Subtest 2 list. When selections for comparison are made, click the ‘Add’ button to add the Paired Comparison to the grid. To remove a specific paired comparison from the grid, check the box next to the row, and click the ‘Remove’ button. To clear all paired comparison selections; click the ‘Clear All’ button.

Clicking the Generate Report button will display the specified WIAT-III^UK report. Within the WIAT-III^UK report the Differences Between Subtest Standard Scores table will display the selected subtest comparisons.

Please reference the WWIAT-III^UK Examiner Manual for further information about the information in this table.

Ability-Achievement Discrepancy (AAD) Analysis & the Pattern of Strengths and Weaknesses (PSW) Model

The WIAT-III^UK Ability-Achievement Discrepancy Analysis table can be created with the following assessments:

WPPSI-IVUK
WISC-IVUK
WAIS-IV

The WIAT-III^UK Pattern of Strength and Weaknesses Model can be created with the following assessments:

WPPSI-IVUK
WISC-IVUK
WAIS-IV

Manual Mode

If only the WIAT-III^UK assessment is chosen from the Examinee Details page, report generation will run in manual mode. In this mode, values must be manually entered into the AAD and PSW sections of the Report Configuration screen to receive the Ability-Achievement Discrepancy Analysis table and the Pattern of Strengths and Weaknesses Model in the report.

Automatic Mode

If the WIAT-III^UK assessment is selected in combination with an ability assessment, report generation will run in automatic mode. Automatic mode pulls in drop-down values and will also populate fields into the AAD and PSW sections of the Report Configuration screen.

Additional Information

There are situations when an index may not be acceptable for a strength. In this situation a yellow icon will display to the left of the Strength combo box. When highlighted a dynamic message will display stating: "[INDEX] may not be accepted as a processing strength within the PSW model in all settings."
There are situations when an index may not be acceptable for a weakness. If the score is 86 or higher, a yellow icon will appear. When highlighted, a tooltip will appear stating, "Use of a score above 85 as a weakness may not be accepted in all settings."
