Abstract
The K-ABC is a recently developed measure of children's mental processing ability and achievement. Founded on theoretical principles of mental processing derived from research in neuropsychology and cognitive psychology, the K-ABC purports to identify individual patterns of information processing of relevance for educational planning. This article discusses the practical applications of the K-ABC for use with preschool-aged children and offers suggestions for supplementing the K-ABC for comprehensive evaluations of preschoolers.Keywords
