Examiner Qualifications

The examiner qualifications for the WJ III ACH – Braille have been informed by the joint Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing http://www.riverpub.com/products/examiner_qualifications.html#wjIIIach. Any person administering the WJ III ACH - Braille needs thorough knowledge of the exact administration and scoring procedures and an understanding of the importance of adhering to these standardized procedures. Competent interpretation requires graduate-level training in educational assessment and a background in diagnostic decision-making are recommended.

 

Examiners of braille readers should be fluent in reading both Literary Braille and Nemeth Braille code. Alternatively, the tests may be administered by an otherwise qualified examiner with assistance from an ancillary examiner who has these competencies. Primary examiners of the WJ III ACH - Braille should also be qualified and competent in administering the WJ III ACH to sighted subjects and in interpreting the test results.
