This measure gives information about a student’s potential for academic success (that is, their speed of learning in the classroom) as well as their ability to learn concepts and how well they can apply them in a new situation. 

The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Adults – Fourth Edition (WAIS-IV) is used to assess the presence of a specific learning disorder (such as dyslexia) as well as general learning difficulties for adults.

These assessments are used along with the results of an educational assessment to diagnose a specific learning disorder such as dyslexia.
