Following debate over the use of the WAIS-IV Canadian adult norms that has been suitably addressed, this study examines the normative differences in the WISC-V child and adolescent data in three ways: (a) presenting a comparison of country normative data across subtest and composite scores for demographically matched and unmatched samples, (b) providing a review of Canadian-U.S. standard FSIQ score differences across ability level, and (c) comparing the case detection accuracy of the WISC-V CDN versus U.S. norms for children with intellectual disability and giftedness. Results demonstrate small mean differences overall in the WISC-V norms when comparing the standardization samples in the two countries; however, there are significant observable differences in the sensitivity of the norms in identifying case status. This is vital for accurate identification, and supports the use of Canadian norms in clinical and gifted decision making. These results support the use of Canadian norms when assessing these exceptional children following best clinical assessment practices and testing guidelines.

Les résultats montrent de faibles écarts moyens dans l’ensemble au niveau des normes WISC-V lorsque l’on compare les échantillons de normalisation dans les deux pays; or, il existe des différences notables dans la sensibilité des normes en ce qui a trait à l’identification de l’état des cas. Cela s’avère capital pour une identification adéquate et soutient l’utilisation des normes canadiennes pour la prise de décisions cliniques et celles de personnes douées. Ces résultats appuient l’utilisation des normes canadiennes dans l’évaluation de ces enfants exceptionnels conformément aux pratiques d’évaluation clinique exemplaires et aux lignes directrices de mise à l’essai.

It is important that these assessments have representative population norms so that children are accurately diagnosed/identified and can receive appropriate support. This article reviews the need for and importance of distinct Canadian norms when using the Canadian edition of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, Fifth Edition (WISC-VCDN), for making important clinical decisions.

Intelligence has been conceptualized as both a general ability ( g) and as multiple abilities. These two views have been the basis for several theories of cognitive abilities. Derived from those theories, models of cognitive functioning have formed the basis of recent tests of Intelligence and component abilities. This chapter maps the CHC theory, Luria theory and Cross-Battery approaches and models of cognitive abilities onto the most recent tests of cognitive ability. By understanding the abilities measured by cognitive tests, practitioners can better appraise the strengths and needs of the clients' they assess. Reviews of recent tests guide practitioners In choosing the most appropriate tests and subtests to measure their client's abilities as they relate to learning disabilities, giftedness, and intellectual disability.

Current educational trends reflect an increased focus on developing social and emotional competencies of school children as a means of reducing underachievement and school violence and promoting positive development and wellbeing. Atypically developing children—those with a diagnosed mental health condition, intellectual exceptionality, or history of maltreatment—are at an increased risk for experiencing academic, social, and/or emotional difficulties. Further, the challenges associated with atypical development may impede the acquisition and/or application of core socioemotional skills. In this chapter, we provide an overview of the current research on emotional intelligence (EI) and social-emotional learning (SEL) with an explicit focus on students’ mental health. After briefly outlining the concepts of SEL and EI, we review relevant research with several atypical populations, including children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention-Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder, Specific Learning Disorder, intellectual giftedness and disability, history of maltreatment, or behavioral and social-emotional difficulties. Descriptions of selected SEL and mindfulness-based school programs that target socioemotional competencies of both children and teachers are presented, followed by a discussion of their utility and challenges in addressing the needs of both typical and atypical learners.
