The second edition of the highly successful German IDS, the new IDS-2 is a comprehensive diagnostic tool that assesses children's strengths and developmental needs across six domains, with 30 subtests covering cognitive and developmental areas. Its modular, child-friendly design allows for personalized testing, with color-coded materials and online scoring for ease and accuracy.
The IDS-2 is versatile in diagnosing intellectual disabilities, learning disorders, and evaluating cognitive, motor, and emotional strengths and weaknesses. In education, it helps provide evidence for access arrangements, determine aptitude, and assist with school transitions, offering valuable insights for targeted interventions.
Typical uses of the IDS-2 include the identification and diagnosing of intellectual disabilities and learning disorders, as well as the evaluation of cognitive and motor skills. The IDS-2 provides an understanding of a child’s emotional strengths and weaknesses, and can inform the professional as to the adolescent’s motivation and attitude.
It is designed to be used by a psychologist or a professional who has had training and/or experience in administrating cognitive or developmental assessments to children and adolescents.
