Differential Ability Scales (DAS)

The Differential Ability Scales (DAS) is a standardized assessment tool used by psychologists to measure a person's intellectual abilities and cognitive strengths. It evaluates various skills such as reasoning, problem-solving, vocabulary, and memory through structured tasks and tests. The DAS provides insight into an individual's overall intelligence as well as specific areas of strength and weakness. It is often used for identifying learning disabilities, planning educational strategies, or understanding cognitive development in children and adolescents. The assessment results help professionals make informed decisions about support or intervention needs.
