A fully nonverbal cognitive assessment built for English Learners, students with speech or hearing impairments, and anyone for whom language could mask true potential.
Too many students are evaluated with tools that measure how well they use language, not what they're truly capable of. WJ V Nonverbal was built to close that gap, a complete cognitive assessment with no spoken directions and no verbal responses required, at any point in administration. It gives practitioners a fair, defensible way to see a student's real abilities across fluid reasoning, visual processing, visual working memory, and processing speed, built on the most current norms available. When language is no longer a barrier, every student's true potential comes into view.

A True Nonverbal Measure, Without the Tradeoffs
Most nonverbal tools ask evaluators to compromise — on how current the norms are, how much of cognitive ability they actually cover, or how flexible the administration can be. WJ V Nonverbal removes that tradeoff. Drawn from seven WJ V cognitive tests — Matrices, Analysis-Synthesis, Block Rotation, Spatial Relations, Number Pattern Matching, Letter Pattern Matching, and Visual Working Memory — it covers four essential CHC domains, broader than most competing nonverbal tools. It integrates directly into Riverside Score, with no separate platform, kit, or login to manage, and no verbal directions or responses required from students at any stage.
Built on the most recent post-pandemic normative data available, it gives practitioners a modern, defensible tool for English Learners, students with speech or hearing impairments, and any case where language may be masking a student's true cognitive potential.
