Intellectual functioning was assessed using formal instruments.

An intelligence test was administered in

order to assess the students general range of intellectual functioning and to determine current strengths
and weaknesses across cognitive processing areas.
The Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children, econd !dition "KABC#II$, is an individually
administered measure of cognitive a%ility. The following results were o%tained&

For MR/ID
The *luid#Crystalli+ed Inde, score indicates glo%al intellectual functioning to %e within the very low
range of intelligence. )esults of a standard score of 45 or %elow "considering the standard error of
measurement$ indicate su%#average cognitive a%ility.
An analysis of 6,,s performance across the various tests indicates "summarize what student could and
couldnt do)
If not for MR/ID and only using KAB!II
The *luid#Crystalli+ed Inde, score indicates glo%al intellectual functioning.
6,,s *CI "is within normal limits'indicates a normative deficit'indicates a normative strength$.
/)
The *luid#Crystalli+ed Inde, score is attenuated "weakened$ due to the degree of scatter across 6,,s
profile of scores and should not %e viewed as the most representative score of his'her overall a%ility.
