Wechsler Nonverbal Scale of Ability (WNV)

Description:

NEW!

A nonverbal measure of ability for anyone. Especially designed for culturally and linguistically diverse groups.

The WNV is ideal for psychologists who need a nonverbal measure of ability for individuals who aren't English-language proficient, or have other language considerations.

Designed for Linguistically Diverse Populations

When language poses a barrier to typical administration, or where traditional intellectual assessment results would be questionable due to language-related difficulties, the WNV is appropriate for all individuals.

Innovative Pictorial Directions make administration easy and effective

No need to pantomime instructions
Native language of the examinee is irrelevant to performance
Flexible standard administration allows help when appropriate
WNV was specifically created for:

Individuals for whom English is not a first language
Hard of hearing or deaf individuals
Individuals with language difficulties or disorders
Individuals who may be eligible for special services and support
High functioning individuals from linguistically diverse populations
Ideal for low incidence disorders such as:

Cerebral palsy
Aphasia
Expressive language disorders
Receptive language disorders
Physically disabilities / complex needs
Specific language impairments
Language diversity doesn’t mean having to use several different tests

No need for adapted administration for use in different countries or with individuals from different countries
Supplemental directions in several languages
Ideal for use in schools with individuals from multiple language backgrounds
Flexibility with the choice of Full Battery or Brief Version
