Make scores make sense.

Bell curve shows where each score sits in the population, which helps when percentiles are new to a family. Score profile lines scores up side by side on one scale, which makes relative strengths easy to point to. Range bars give each score its own row with its interval, which works well for a few key scores. The info button beside Overlays explains what each overlay shows, and Present opens a clean full-screen view for meetings, where Move below the chart puts the explanation under the chart. Choose a composite from the arrow in a score’s name to add what the skill is and how it shows up day to day. In the Explain panel, Family words gives plain language, Clinical gives the full numbers, Visual shows the position on a ruler and on other scales, and Both puts family words and key numbers together.

Many problem or symptom scales use higher scores for more reported concern, while skill and adaptive scales use higher scores for stronger functioning. Check each scale’s direction and classification ranges. The chart never flips a score’s position. A T score of 70 is +2 SD on a 50/10 scale; it is not equivalent to an intellectual functioning score or an intellectual disability criterion.

The chart can show where academic and cognitive scores fall against their own norms, and the SLD reference section looks up one published numerical criterion. A visible gap does not establish SLD, a statistically significant difference, an unusual difference, or an approved discrepancy result. Those judgments need your state and district procedures, appropriate test data, and a comprehensive evaluation.

The chart applies the standard normal distribution to a z score. Publishers may use empirical norms, discrete score distributions, floors, ceilings, or other methods. Enter a publisher percentile under a score’s details (the arrow at the end of its row in the Scores list) to show it alongside the model estimate, and use the report and manual for interpretation.

Use the convention your instrument and district use. The seven-band convention matches contemporary Wechsler reports. The normative range convention comes from cross-battery assessment, where below 85 is a normative weakness and 85 to 115 is within normal limits. Descriptors here apply only to standard scores; rating and adaptive scales keep their own labels.

You can describe positions and the intervals you entered. You cannot infer a statistically significant difference, rarity, meaningful change, or eligibility from the picture alone. Raters may see different settings, so do not average their scores automatically. Equal positions do not mean equal skills or interchangeable tests.

Score summary is one page: the chart and a table of the plotted scores with z scores, percentile ranks, descriptors, and any intervals you entered. Summary with references adds the ten CHC definitions in report wording, the SLD lookup if you used it, and the sources. Backgrounds and controls are left off to save ink.
