<div>Does anyone still use the "Draw A Man" test? It used to be part of my<br>battery in the days when I was a child clinical psychologist and there<br>were norms available. Might be worth investigating.<br><br>

(Or use z-scores instead of raw scores). Also the instructions require almost no language (you can use gestures) which is beneficial when researching children with language/ communication impairments.<br>

<div style="BORDER-TOP: #7799dd 1px solid"></div> <br>Do you actually need a non-verbal IQ score, or do you just need some<br>form of non-verbal ability test, which you could use to match children<br>(of the same age) or co-vary against a verbal score (again with the same<br>
age group), or even from which you could obtain a standard score for<br>every child (regardless of age)?<br> <br><br> <br>Because if you want to do one of those things (rather than actually<br>obtain an IQ score) you can just use a subtest of the WPPSI, or of the<br>
BAS (we usually use Block Design from the BAS). You can still compare<br>children and obtain a standard score on that one test.<br> <br><br> <br>Katie<br> <br><br> <br>From: <a href="mailto:info-childes@googlegroups.com" target="_blank">info-childes@googlegroups.com</a><br>

Subject: Leiter R vs WPPSI with 3- and 4-year-olds<br> <br><br> <br>Hi everybody,<br>I need to assess non-verbal IQ for an intervention study with 3- and<br>4-year-olds with language and communication disorders. I therefore will<br>
have to fork out a considerable amount of money for a test. I am<br>currently tossing up between the Leiter R (which claims to be the only<br>truly non-verbal test) and the Wechsler Pre-school and Primary Scale of<br>Intelligence (which seems to be more widely used).<br>
<br>Does anyone have any experience comparing the advantages and<br>disadvantages of using these two tests with this age group? I am quite<br>wary of using lengthy and boring tests with a group which are not<br>exactly known for their ability to maintain sustained attention and / or<br>
understand verbal instructions! <br> <br>Many thanks in advance,<br>Kirsten<br> <br>-- <br>You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google<br>Groups "Info-CHILDES" group.<br>To post to this group, send email to <a href="mailto:info-childes@googlegroups.com" target="_blank">info-childes@googlegroups.com</a>.<br>
