About the Package

Non-Verbal Cognitive Ability Assessment

The Non-Verbal Cognitive Ability Assessment package would be recommended for children and young people who require a cognitive ability assessment and have speech, language and communication difficulties; are English language learners, or are individuals from diverse backgrounds including Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander. The Non-Verbal Cognitive Ability Assessment would also be suitable for hard of hearing or individuals that are deaf; gifted individuals from a culturally and linguistically diverse population; or individuals with diagnosed communication disorders such as Aphasia, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and Selective Mutism.
The Brilliant Minds Non-Verbal Cognitive Ability Assessment includes a cognitive assessment and assessment of adaptive functioning. The primary cognitive assessment utilised is the Wechsler Nonverbal Scale of Ability (WNV). The WNV Scale is a reliable and efficient scale to accurately assess cognitive ability “when language poses a barrier to typical administration, or where traditional intellectual assessment results would be questionable due to language-related difficulties (Pearson, 2022). The WNV scale assesses children and young people up to the age of 21 years, 11 months. The Test of Non-Verbal Intelligence- Fourth Edition (TONI-4) will be utilised as an additional tool to provide supplementary assessment information where required.
A series of questionnaires will be sent to parents/ guardians and teachers, to gain the required additional information.
