Math

Woodcock Johnson-IV Applied Problems (Shrank et al., 2018) or Batería IV – Problemas Aplicados (LaForte et al., 2019)

Students’ math skills were measured using the Applied Problems or Problemas aplicados subtests of the Woodcock- Johnson IV and Batería IV, respectively. During this assessment students are presented with a testbook and asked to analyze and solve math problems. MEFS was used to measure students’ executive functioning skills (e.g., working memory, inhibition, and cognitive flexibility). MEFS is administered on a tablet or touch screen computer. Students are presented with cards that vary by animal and color. They are prompted to sort the cards based on one set of rules (e.g., by color) and then prompted to sort by a different set of rules (e.g., by animal). The Leiter-3 was used to assess students’ attention, activity level, mood regulation, organization skills, anxiety, sociability, impulse control, energy and feelings, and sensory reactivity during the assessment period. Two composite subscales were used, cognitive/Social and Emotions/Regulation. This is completed immediately after all other assessments by the trained assessor.
