WIAT-III is designed to identify academic strengths and weaknesses, inform decisions regarding eligibility for service, placement, and diagnosis of specific learning disabilities (Pearson, 2009, p2). The goal of the WIAT-III is to provide in depth assessment and recommendations for students with specific learning disabilities. WIAT-III has made some addition to the subtests in Math Fluency, and Oral Reading. WIAT-III has eight composite scores and 16 subtests. Average time of test administration ranges from 1 minute to 17 minutes.
Unit 237 - Dementia Awareness Understand what dementia is Explain what is meant by the term ‘dementia’ Dementia describes a range of signs and symptoms that occur to an individual when part of the brain is affected by certain diseases and various conditions such as Alzheimer’s.

Describe the key functions of the brain that are – affected by dementia The Brain Brain cells Spinal cord Frontal lobe Parietal lobe Temporal lobe Cerebellum Occipital lobe Explain why depression, delirium and age-related memory impairment may be mistaken for dementia The above symptoms are very similar to Dementia and this is why people get mistaken, it is very important that an individual with symptoms gets assessed by a GP to determine the condition.
