Woodcock-Johnson III Tests of Achievement, 2001: Braille Adaptation

The American Printing House for the Blind, in collaboration with the Woodcock-Munoz Foundation, has developed a braille/tactile adaptation of the Woodcock-Johnson® III Tests of Achievement (WJ III ACH), one of the most widely used individual, diagnostic achievement tests in the U.S. The WJ III ACH-Braille may be used to assess academic and language achievement, to identify academic strengths and weaknesses, to plan interventions and accommodations, and to monitor long-term progress.

 

Compuscore® & Profiles Program

The Woodcock-Munoz Foundation provided additional tests to compensate for tests omitted and made available substitute items to reduce the visual bias of the tests, all within the current norms. To incorporate the extensive adaptations into the scoring procedures, the Woodcock-Munoz Foundation developed and contributed the WJ III NU Tests of Achievement: Braille Adaptation Compuscore and Profiles Program.

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.
