Be confident you're getting a true picture of a child's abilities — even when language difficulties or cultural differences might affect test scores.

Features

KABC-II NU scales include: Simultaneous (Gv), Sequential (Gsm), Planning (Gf), Learning (Glr), and Knowledge (Gc included in CHC model only)
