Description

The Workshop which was held at The Albany Club (91 King St. E., Toronto, ON) on May 24, 2013 is available for purchase.

The focus of this presentation is on the Advanced Clinical Solutions (ACS).  We discuss the new Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scales (WAIS-IV), a new measure of adult memory assessment (WMS-IV and WMS Flexible) and the additional data provided by ACS.  We will also review demographically-adjusted  norms, the Test of Pre-morbid Functioning, new measures of social perception, effort and serial testing.

Learning Objectives

Learning Objectives:

• After attending this presentation, the participants will be familiar with the data provided by the ACS.  They will learn about adjusted norms, serial testing and measures of pre-morbid functioning.  The participants will also learn how to integrate findings from the three sources; WAIS-IV, WMS-IV and ACS.
• After attending this presentation, participants will be able to understand the different types of DAN and TOPF sources and their application in individual cases.  We will contrast scores provided by the routine method of computerized scores with DAN scores.
