The donation to the Washburn Psychological Services Clinic (WPSC) for the purchase of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale Fifth Edition (WAIS-5) addresses a critical need in education support services. The WAIS-5 is a cognitive assessment that students in the psychology master's program learn and use in the WPSC clinic.
The WAIS-5 is crucial for identifying cognitive strengths and challenges, particularly for people experiencing academic difficulties. By providing these essential diagnostic tools, the WPSC enables the development of tailored educational strategies and appropriate accommodations.
This investment also assists uninsured, low-income college students and community members who lack access to affordable intellectual functioning assessments. It also enhances individual performance and promotes educational equity, ensuring that financial constraints do not impede academic success. The Day of Giving gifts to the WPSC serves as a catalyst for fostering a more inclusive and supportive learning environment.
Donations to this project will support the Psychology Department Fund.
