[blindkid] IQ testing

[Denise Colton]

The Woodcock-Johnson III (WJ-III) has a cognitive (IQ) battery of tests and
and achievement battery of tests.  To the best of my knowledge, only the
achievement battery has been published in a braille format.  Therefore the
WJ III you would order from APH would not be a test of intelligence (IQ).

The WWJIII is now in a braille format to access blind children and is
adapted appropriately--You can get it from APH Denise
