I’m hoping someone can tell me if there is a Individual Ability & Achievement Test for a 4 year old, or if there is an equivalent test. I hear that most IA & AT are for children of school age.
Thanks for any help

Re: Individual Ability & Achievement Testing
There are several tests that are normed that young- the WJIII is one, but there are others. The Test of Early Reading Ability is normed that low as is the Test of Early Math Ability. The problem I think lies less with finding a test than it does with how accurate the results are at that age. Children’s brains are developing at such a rapid rate and such a variety of ways that the cognitive results you get at one testing could be completely different in six months- relative to both the actual score and the subtest pattern of strengths and weaknesses. I have actually found that language testing from the SLP is generally a more sensitive indicator of preschoolers capacity than any cognitive test.

which is a preschool form of the WISC-R. I may have some of the letters wrong in the acronym but it is a test designed by Weshler..who did the WISC The WISC is the test that most kids get in school from the school psychologist.
