The WJ is widely used for assessment of learning disabilities and provides documentation that is acceptable to service providers in elementary schools, colleges, and universities. This battery of tests allows professionals to make valid comparisons of a student's strengths and weaknesses and to report scores in standard scores, percentiles, and grade equivalents.
Participants learn how to administer subsets and interpret scores for pur-poses of remediation.
Each student should be prepared to provide his or her own WJ kit. She has been a learning disabilities specialist for 21 years. She taught at school districts in San Diego and has taught learning strategies to DSP students for 5 years at UC Berkeley's Disabled Students Program.
