The WISC-R was administered to a group of learning-disabled (LD) children and the results factor-analyzed. It is individually administered with one or both parents present for the administration. The DAS-II is useful for identifying strengths and weaknesses so appropriate individual education program (IEP) goals, intervention strategies, and progress monitoring can be developed; and comparing ability scores over time, even when normative scores cannot be obtained. Notably, the core battery for ages 2:6-3:5 contains only four subtests and may be more useful as a screening instrument for children of this age.
