Question: What is the Reynolds Intellectual Assessment Scales / Wide Range Achievement Test 4?

Answer: It addresses the issue of ability/achievement discrepancy in individuals.

The Reynolds Intellectual Assessment Scales / Wide Range Achievement Test 4 is designed for ages 5-24 years.

The RIAS/WRAT4-DIR addresses the issue of ability/achievement discrepancy by providing a tool that calculates and interprets the difference between an individual?s score on the RIAS, and the score on the WRAT4. By comparing the general ability levels assessed by the RIAS to the achievement levels obtained by the WRAT4, the RIAS/WRAT4-DIR provides school psychologists with the necessary information for determining special education eligibility, and the presence of specific learning disabilities in students.
