The Learning Disabilities Diagnostic Inventory (LDDI)
Age range: 8 to 17 years Admin: Individual Qualification level: A The LDDI is a rating scale designed to help psychologists, diagnosticians, LD specialists, speechlanguage pathologists, and others identify intrinsic processing disorders and learning disabilities in students between the ages of 8-0 and 17-11. A reliable and valid norm-referenced inventory, the LDDI is composed of six independent scales‹one for each of the areas listed in the definition by the U.S. Office of Education and the National Joint Committee on Learning Disabilities: Listening, Speaking, Reading, Writing, Mathematics, and Reasoning. Each scale contains 15 easy-to-rate items. The items were generated after an extensive review of theoretical writings and empirical studies in learning disabilities, especially the literature that focused on the neuropsychological aspects of the disabilities. The appropriateness of the behaviors represented by the items was confirmed in a survey of experts in the field and by extensive research that is reported in the manual. The LDDI was built for the single purpose of helping professionals identify learning disabilities in individuals. It is not an ability or achievement measure (i.e., it will not tell you how well or how poorly students read, write, speak, and so forth). Instead, the LDDI will tell you the extent to which students’ skill patterns in a particular area (e.g., reading, writing) are consistent with those individuals known to have LD in that area (e.g., dyslexia, dysgraphia). Thus, using the LDDI shifts the diagnostic emphasis away from interpreting norm-referenced ability test scores and toward studying an individual’s skill patterns, especially those patterns that are indicative of people who are known to have specific learning disabilities.

Age range: 6 years, 5 months to 89 years Admin: Individual Qualification level: C Used primarily to assess perseveration and abstract thinking, the WCST is also considered a measure of executive function because of its reported sensitivity to frontal lobe dysfunction. The WCST allows you to assess your client’s strategic planning; organized searching; and ability to utilize environmental feedback to shift cognitive sets, direct behavior toward achieving a goal, and modulate impulsive responding. Features and benefits - Completion of the WCST requires the ability to develop and maintain an appropriate problem-solving strategy across changing stimulus conditions in order to achieve a future goal. - Unlike other measures of abstraction, the WCST provides objective measures of overall success and identifies particular sources of difficulty on the task (e.g., inefficient initial conceptualization, perseveration, failure to maintain a cognitive set, inefficient learning across stages of the test). - When used with more comprehensive ability testing, the WCST is helpful in discriminating frontal from nonfrontal lesions.
