Product Description

The second edition of the highly successful German IDS, first published in 2009, the new IDS-2 provides information on the child’s strengths and developmental needs, thus painting a picture of where support is needed to help them achieve their full potential. Its flexible modular design is easily tailored by the psychologist, and booklets and record sheets are color-coded for ease of use during the testing session.

The IDS-2 covers the functional dimensions of intelligence, executive functions, psychomotor skills, social-emotional competence, basic school skills and motivation and work attitude. Psychologists use the assessment when identifying and diagnosing intellectual disabilities and learning disorders, evaluating cognitive and motor skills, and to help understand emotional strengths and weaknesses.

• Executive functions – including Inhibition, Working Memory, and Cognitive Flexibility
• Psychomotor Skills
