Prevalence and Diagnostic Utility of the WISC-III SCAD Profile among Children with Disabilities.

Watkins, Marley W.; Kush, Joseph C.; Glutting, Joseph J.

School Psychology Quarterly, v12 n3 p235-48 Fall 1997

Examines the Symbol, Search, Coding, Arithmetic, and Digit Span (SCAD) subtests of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (3rd ed.) (WISC-III) by comparing 363 students with learning and emotional disabilities to the WISC-III normative sample. Results indicate that the SCAD profile is neither a valid diagnostic indicator nor an important predictor of academic achievement. (RJM)
