Weschler Intelligence Scale for Children V Integrated

Age Range: 6-16 years old

Test time: 120 minutes approximately

​

The WISC-V Integrated is a specialized version of the WISC-V. This widely used tool helps psychologists understand a child’s cognitive abilities, or how they think, learn, and solve problems. The "Integrated" version includes extra tests designed to provide more detailed information about a child's strengths and challenges in different thinking skills.

​

Why Is It Helpful?
Sometimes, children perform differently across various parts of the standard WISC-V test. The Integrated version helps us understand why by deeply exploring specific thinking processes. This can help parents, teachers, and psychologists create better learning strategies for the child.

​

What Does It Measure?
Like the standard WISC-V, the Integrated version looks at five key areas of thinking:

Verbal Comprehension – Understanding and using words.
Visual-Spatial – Solving problems with pictures or patterns.
Fluid Reasoning – Finding patterns and solving unfamiliar problems.
Working Memory – Holding and using information in short-term memory.
Processing Speed – How quickly a child can complete simple tasks.
The Integrated version adds extra tasks to dig deeper into these areas, especially when a child shows uneven performance.

​

When Is It Used?
The WISC-V Integrated is often used if a child has learning difficulties, attention challenges, or questions about how they approach tasks. The extra insights help tailor support for the child at home and school.

​

What Parents Should Remember:

• The WISC-V Integrated is not a pass/fail test—it’s a tool for understanding how children learn.

• Results help identify strengths and pinpoint areas where more support might be needed.

• The goal is to provide personalized strategies to help your child learn more effectively.
