The Woodcock Johnson IV is administered primarily orally in a one-on-one environment and meets North Carolina state home-schooling requirements. High scores on the "Broad" interpretive clusters will typically qualify for gifted programs. Prices include consultation with parents to discuss test results and observations during testing and also WJ IV Interpretation & Instructional Interventions Program (WIIIP^®), which provides a detailed interpretation of student performance offering research-based interventions and strategies based on an examinee’s scores.

A Dyslexic Report can be generated if the following are administered:

"The assessment of dyslexia requires consideration of many factors beyond standardized test performance, including the student’s developmental and family history, exposure to appropriate classroom instruction, and response to intervention. When used within the context of a comprehensive evaluation, the Dyslexia Report and Dyslexia Checklists can help examiners determine if their client demonstrates the characteristics of dyslexia and then plan interventions accordingly.  The WJ IV Dyslexia Report provides a conceptual framework that organizes WJ IV test results for the purpose of identifying characteristics of dyslexia." (WIIIP^® Dyslexia Report Guide, p.4)

Tests administered outside the Asheville-Greenville-Spartanburg area may be subject to a travel fee.
