What psychometric tests do Educational Psychologists use?

Educational Psychologists (EPs) use a varied tool box of assessment and intervention strategies to support children and young people.

There are a range of assessment tools used by EPs to identify need and these are selected based on the child’s specific needs and the tests the EP is trained to use. All Psychometric tests should be standardised and evidence based. Examples of Psychometric tests that an Educational Psychologist could use may include any combinations of the following:

British Ability Scales cognitive assessment, currently in its 3rd edition (BAS3)
A range of Wechsler assessment scales including:
WORD for literacy
WOLD for language
WOND for numeracy
WASI (abbreviated cognitive assessment)
WISC cognitive assessment, currently in its 4th edition (WISC IV)
Neuro psychological Assessment (NEPSY II) developmental difficulties
BRIEF Inventory (for executive functioning assessment)
Rating scales such as:
GARS and CARS for ASD related work
Connor’s rating scales (ADHD work)
Interview schedules
Vineland Scales and ABAS Scales addressing adaptive behaviour skills for Learning Difficulties
