"Cross-Battery Assessment Software System "(X-BASS) offers School Psychologists and other assessment professionals a time-saving, efficient, expert method for interpreting and presenting findings based on the methods and principles of cross-battery assessment. X-BASS allows users to enter specific test data and information and have it analyzed. Preprogrammed formulas take the data entered and apply cross-battery assessment principles to conduct the analyses. The software then displays the results within the context of CHC theory. The program also allows for the analysis of data to answer questions pertaining to the 'pattern of strengths and weaknesses' component in SLD evaluations as well as the test performance of individuals from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. X-BASS is a single program solution that integrates the Cross-Battery Assessment Data Management and Interpretive Assistant, the Cross-Battery Assessment Pattern of Strengths and Weaknesses Analyzer, and the Cross-Battery Assessment Culture-Language Interpretive Matrix under one umbrella. X-BASS is compatible with Windows(R) and Mac OS X(R). Please note: This item does not contain a disc; it is a product access card that requires a download from Wiley.
New features improve user experience, guide cross-battery assessment, and facilitate interpretation of findings, and report writingEnhanced Content Includes coverage of the recent revisions of the top-selling major cognitive, achievement, and speech-language batteries including the new WISC(R)-V, WJ IV(R), KTEA-3, CELF-5, and CTOPP-2 and over 100 psychological batteries and 800 subtests all of which are classified according to CHC theory.Includes an internal database (up to 500 cases) where all data from a case may be saved and later retrieved. Users can select saved cases by name from an alphabetical list which will then populate the entire program with prior data, revealing the exact information to the user as was previously saved. Cases can be updated, revised, and saved again or deleted entirely at the discretion of the user and by maintaining the data internally within the program, only one file ever exists on a given computer and even when full of data, will not increase inordinately in size.Operationalization and analysis of the empirical/research-based relationship between cognitive and academic deficits within the PSW-A above and beyond analysis of relative magnitude.Improved FunctionalitySingle-instance data entry. Information and scores only need to be entered once and are seamlessly carried over either by intentional designation from the user or automatically by the program, where appropriate.Quick access to all features of the program without having to open extra files.
Includes organizational summary tabs and graphs that facilitate selection of composites appropriate for SLD analysis.Automatic transfer of any test score entered on any test tab into a summary C-LIM matrix that immediately displays score patterns to evaluate the validity of results.Automatic summary graphing of test tabs, including the CHC tab.Integrated graphing across more than two linked batteries (for example, WJ IV(R) Cognitive, WJ IV(R) Achievement, and WJ IV(R) Oral Language scores can be selectively represented on a single graph).
