A Validation Report of the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale 4th Edition: An Appropriate Instrument for Assessment of Children with Intellectual Disabilities

Abstract

This paper reviews the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale 4th Edition (SB-4) and compares and contrasts it with the instrument it supersedes, the Stanford-Binet 3rd Edition (L-M) (SB-3). Specific emphasis is placed on the use of the SB-4 with children and adolescents with intellectual disability. It can differentiate between intellectually disabled children and adolescents who have Down syndrome, and those who have other etiologies.
