Individual Testing

The School Psychologist and Consulting Clinical Psychologist administer limited, individual testing in the Primary School, with the written consent of the parent or guardian, when specific information will assist with academic planning. Tests are selected in accordance with the needs of the individual student.

Test instruments may include:

  • KeyMath Revised
  • Test of Written Language - Third Edition (TOWL-III)
  • Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children - Third Edition (WISC-III)
  • Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI)
  • Woodcock Johnson Tests of Achievement III (WJ III)
  • Wechsler Individual Achievement Test (WIAT)

An outside referral will be recommended if a more extensive assessment is warranted. Individual psychological/educational assessments can be arranged through the student's public school district or through a psychologist in private practice. Laurel School psychologists do not diagnose learning disabilities and, therefore, testing must take place with an outside specialist.
