Though the Wechsler tests are widely used to assess the intellectual ability of hearing impaired children, data on the reliability of the WISC‐R with this population have been lacking. The Performance Scale of the WISC‐R was administered to 59 prelingually deaf children attending a state‐supported day school program. The reliability coefficients and standard errors of measurement were computed for each subtest and for the Performance Scale IQ. The results compare favorably with those found by Wechsler with the standardization sample.
