AbstractThis study examined the relationship between the WAIS‐R and WRAT‐R among 78 EMR adolescents enrolled in resource classes in a public school setting. Results indicated that the WAIS‐R Verbal IQ was significantly correlated with all WRAT‐R subtests (rrange = .66 to .77). The Performance IQ was found to be significantly related only to Arithmetic (r= .26). The Full Scale IQ was significantly related to Reading (r= .25) and Arithmetic (r= .56), but not Spelling. Results suggest that the WAIS‐R Verbal IQ and Full Scale IQ generally show moderate correlations with achievement but the Performance IQ generally shows no or little relationship to achievement. This pattern of findings is somewhat different from prior Wechsler research with other populations. Implications for the diagnostic activities of school psychologists are
