WISC-V and WPPSI-IV

The Three Seas Psychology offers comprehensive cognitive assessments for children and adolescents.

Understanding the unique strengths and limitations of your child is an important part of supporting their development. The Three Seas offers comprehensive cognitive assessments that provide clear and informative reports. The WISC-V¹ and the WPPSI-IV² are the gold-standard of intelligence testing for children and adolescents.

The WISC-V and WPPSI-IV assess a broad range of domains including Verbal Comprehension, Visual Spatial Skills, Fluid Reasoning, Working Memory and Processing Speed. The tests are designed to enable parents to proactively address their child’s needs and reduce the impact of future challenges. In addition to this, the report will effectively communicate your child’s needs to medical professionals and educators.

The WISC and WPPSI can be useful for all children including those who may have intellectual deficits, those in the mainstream and those with giftedness.
