6 What is the WNV? Overview 6
7 WNV Overview WNV was specifically created for: Individuals from diverse linguistic groups Those who have limited language skills Hard of hearing or deaf individuals Individuals with language disorders Identification of gifted children from linguistically and culturally diverse populations 7
8 WNV Overview Standardized in the US and Canada For ages 4:0 21:11 Yields a Full Scale and subtest scores Innovative administration format Full (45 minute) and brief (20 minute) versions and software included in every kit Meets IDEA 2004 requirements for reliable and valid nondiscriminatory assessment 8
9 WNV Overview The WNV is a nonverbal measure of general ability using subtests that Have different demands Some require memory other sequencing Do not contain verbal content (e.g., Vocabulary) Do not require the examinee to speak Use pictorial directions 9
10 WNV Overview The pictorial directions make it easy for the examinee to understand what they have to do and easy for the examiner 10
11 WNV Overview In addition to the Pictorial Directions Administration instructions include gestures by the examiner that draw the examinee s attention to the demands of the task Verbal instructions are used as needed and provided in six languages Examiners have the opportunity to provide additional help as needed This will be illustrated in the slides that follow 11

60 Step 1 Report WNV Full Scale Standard Score 60
61 Step 1 Compare WNV Full Scale to WIAT-II Tables B.2 and B.3 provide differences between WNV FS (4-Subtest Battery) and WIAT II Subtest and Composite Scores using the Predicted-Difference Method Tables B.5 and B.6 provide the values using the Simple Difference Method Base rate data is provided for both types of comparisons 61
62 Step 2 Subtest Analysis Compute the mean of the four T scores Subtract the mean from each T score Compare the differences to the value in Table B.1 Differences that are equal to or greater than the value in Table B.1 are significant Negative values are Weaknesses Positive values are Strengths 62
63 Subtest Comparisons 63
64 Subtest Strengths & Weaknesses 64

72 Step 4 Intersubtest scatter: the simple-difference between the examinee s highest and lowest subtest T scores can be examined Cumulative percentages are reported 4-Subtest WNV scatter statistics Mean = 5.7 SD = Subtest WNV scatter statistics Mean = 8.6 SD =
73 Step 5 Intervention Intervention Based on subtest scores Manual example of Lucy Lucy performed poorly in relation to her overall subtest mean and in relation to her peers This suggests that it may be useful to consider the role memory difficulties may play in academic tasks Also consider other evidence of memory status Teacher and parent reports Other data 73
74 Step 2 Subtest T scores: Matrices 56 Coding 43 Spatial Span 37 Picture Arr 51 Mean T score = Strength Matrices is a strength (56 47 = 9; need 30 MA CD SSP PA Spatial Span is a weakness (37 47 = 10; need and it is below 40 Weakness 74
75 Step 5 Intervention Lucy performed poorly in relation to her mean and her peers on Spatial Span Consider the role of memory in academic tasks Especially if there are parent or teacher concerns about Lucy remembering information The same hypothesis could be associated with Recognition Coding -- if the examinee did not appear to remember the correspondence between shapes and numbers 75
76 Step 5 Intervention Use chunking or mnemonic methods for tasks that demand recall of information There is much empirical support for these techniques for improving memory (Mastropieri & Scruggs, 2006; Minskoff & Allsopp, 2003). To aid in the selection and communication of these interventions to parents and teachers use Naglieri and Pickering (2003) handouts. 76

98 Bilingual Evaluation Reason for Referral Luis is well behaved in class His teacher is not sure how much he understand directions he is given He has difficulties with letters, numbers, and pre-literacy skills He does not always remember the names of the other children in his class 98
99 Bilingual Evaluation Background Luis attended a bilingual Head Start program Currently in full-day Kindergarten with ELL support and speech and language services He is struggling in school During testing Questions had to be repeated in several times before he was able to comprehend the English instructions During administration of the WNV, some of the tasks were explained in Spanish, but pictorial directions greatly facilitated administration 99
100 Bilingual Evaluation Selected Test Results WPPSI III Verbal IQ = 80 (9 th percentile) Performance IQ = 93 (32 nd percentile) Full Scale IQ = 93 Wechsler Nonverbal Scale of Ability Full Scale score of 105 (63 rd percentile) T score Percentile» Matrices 58 79» Coding 47 38» Object Assembly 47 38» Recognition Notes: There is no significant difference between the four WNV subtests and the child s mean of 55.The percentiles corresponding to T scores and more details about this case conducted by Dr. Tulio Otero-Zeno are provided in Essentials of WNV Assessment. 100
101 Bilingual Evaluation Summary by Dr. Tulio Otero-Zeno Luis s general ability is within the average range as measured by his Full Scale scores on the WPPSI-III and the WNV. He earned a low VIQ on the WPPSI-III because of limited academic language skills in English. Luis s highest Full Scale score is on the WNV which suggests he performs well on cognitive tasks when language demands are eliminated. 101
102 Putting the WNV in Context Do nonverbal tests measure half of ability? 102
103 Presentation Overview The Wechsler Nonverbal Scale of Ability Administration Subtest Description Scoring Interpretation Technical Characteristics Case Study What does the WNV measure? Conclusions 103
104 What does the WNV measure? The WNV is a test of general ability measured using questions that do not require knowledge of words and instead all have nonverbal content It is not a measure of nonverbal intelligence Measure general ability by using tests that do not require verbal skills Not nonverbal ability Measure general ability nonverbally Is this consistent with Wechsler s view? 104
105 General Ability 105
106 General Ability Nonverbal assessment describes the content of the test not a type of ability General ability is measured using nonverbal tests so that a wide variety of individuals may be assessed using the same questions A nonverbal test of general ability is more appropriate for culturally and/or linguistically diverse populations A nonverbal test holds much promise for opening doors to gifted culturally and linguistically diverse students Naglieri, J. A. (2008). Traditional IQ: 100 Years of Misconception and its Relationship to Minority Representation in Gifted Programs in J. VanTassel-Baska (Ed.) Critical Issues in Equity and Excellence in Gifted Education Series Alternative Assessment of Gifted Learners (pp ). 106 Waco, TX: Prufrock Press.
107 Minority Representation Under-representation of minorities in gifted African American (Naglieri & Ford, 2000) Hispanic, and Native American students are under-represented by 50% to 70% (U.S. Department of Education, 1993) Over-representation of minorities in special education (Naglieri & Rojahn, 2000) Too many African American and Hispanics are identified as having mental retardation 107
108 General Ability Bracken and Naglieri (2003) state general intelligence tests with verbal content and nonverbal content measure essentially the same construct as general ability tests that are entirely nonverbal (p. 247) Both types measure general ability One measures general ability with varying content (verbal, quantitative, and nonverbal) and the other uses nonverbal tests Both types of tests are highly correlated with academic performance 108
109 General Ability WISC-III NNAT WNV WIAT SAT9 WIAT2 Correlation N 1,284 24, Note: WISC-III data from WIAT Manual Table C.1 ages 6-16; NNAT data from NNAT Technical Manual (Naglieri, 1997); WNV data from Wechsler & Naglieri (2006) WNV Technical Manual. Conclusion Nonverbal tests of general ability have as much predictive validity as verbal and nonverbal tests of general ability 109
110 Presentation Overview The Wechsler Nonverbal Scale of Ability Administration Subtest Description Scoring Interpretation Technical Characteristics Case Study What does the WNV measure? Conclusions 110
111 Conclusions The WNV measures general ability with considerable reliability and validity This test can be used for fair assessment of children whose limited verbal skills would otherwise mask their real level of ability Pictorial directions and administration flexibility greatly enhance accurate evaluation of children from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds 111
