The RIAS-2 is an objective, reliable, and comprehensive test of intelligence and its major components. The new RIAS-2 Record Form with Spanish Responses is a culturally fair assessment that allows bilingual and English language learners the option of answering items in Spanish.

• Aids in cognitive assessment of Spanish/English bilingual and English language learners. 
• A new manual supplement describes the diligent translation process for the Spanish responses.
