Two report types are offered for the WIAT-4 assessment: Score and Parent. Click Select next to the report name to select that report. Inventory needed and available information is displayed with each report.
Note: The WIAT-4 Parent Report will be available after a WIAT-4 Score Report is generated.
The WIAT-4 Score Report includes score summary tables and graphical profiles for subtests, subtest components, and composites. The report also provides Oral Reading Fluency base rates, composite and subtest standard score differences tables (customized per user selections), qualitative observations, error analysis, intervention goal statements, and analyses for the identification of a specific learning disability (ability-achievement discrepancy, pattern of strengths and weaknesses). All sections are configurable using report configuration settings.
The choices under Configurations allow the user to select the options and settings for the Score Report.

| Confidence interval | Select the confidence interval to be used for the report: 90% or 95% |
| Norm group | Select the norm group to be used for the report: age-based or grade-based |
| Descriptive categories scale | Select the scale to be used for descriptive categories on the report: 10-point or 15-point |
| Significance
level
Applies to Composite and Subtest standard score differences |
Select the significance level to be used for the report: 0.05 or 0.10 |
| Additional Options | |
| Composite standard score differences | Expand the Composite standard score differences panel and check the Include with report option to include composite standard score differences on the report. You may choose up to 20 custom composite comparisons.
Add common comparisons – Click the Add common comparisons button to add a pre-defined set of common comparisons. The button will be disabled if adding the common comparisons will exceed the maximum available comparisons. |
| Subtest standard score differences | Expand the Subtest standard score differences panel and check the Include with report option to include subtest standard score differences on the report. You may choose up to 30 custom subtest comparisons.
Add common comparisons – Click the Add common comparisons button to add a pre-defined set of common comparisons. The button will be disabled if adding the common comparisons will exceed the maximum available comparisons. |
| Ability-achievement discrepancy analysis | The Ability-achievement discrepancy analysis (AAD) option is available when age-based norms are selected. AAD settings are displayed when the Include with report option is selected. If selected, all AAD fields must be filled in before a report can be generated.
Manual Mode: When a single WIAT-4 assessment record is selected for report generation, the AAD interface runs in “manual” mode. In this mode, the ability fields must be manually entered.
Assessment Details: Select the assessment to be used for AAD analysis and specify the administration date for the assessment.
Settings: Select ability score type, ability score, difference method (predicted or simple), and significance level (0.01 or 0.05) to be used for AAD analysis. Automatic Mode: When one WIAT-4 assessment is selected along with one of the applicable ability assessments for the same examinee, the AAD interface runs in “automatic” mode. In this mode, the ability assessment and administration date are pre-populated based on the selected assessment record and the ability score is pre-populated based on the user-selected ability score type. |
| Pattern of strengths and weaknesses discrepancy analysis | The
pattern of strengths and weaknesses discrepancy analysis (PSW)
option
is available when age-based norms are selected. PSW settings are
displayed when the Include with report option is selected. If
selected, all PSW fields must be filled in before a report can
be generated. The PSW table and profile will be included
on the report.
Manual Mode: When a single WIAT-4 assessment record is selected for report generation, the PSW interface runs in “manual” mode. In this mode, the ability and achievement fields must be manually entered.
Ability Assessment Details: Select the ability assessment and specify the age at administration for the assessment.
Settings: Select the strength and weakness and fill in applicable scores.
Achievement Assessment Details: Details for the WIAT-4 assessment are displayed.
Settings: Select weakness scale, and significance level (0.01 or 0.05) to be used for PSW analysis. The weakness score for the selected scale is filled in automatically. Automatic Mode: When one WIAT-4 assessment is selected along with one of the applicable ability assessments for the same examinee, the PSW interface runs in “automatic” mode. In this mode, scores are filled in automatically for the user-selected ability strength and ability weakness. |
The WIAT-4 Parent Report is available after you have generated a WIAT-4 Score Report. The WIAT-4 Parent Report provides subtest descriptions of all administered subtests and graphical profiles of scores.
The choices under Configurations allow the user to select the options and settings for the Parent Report.
