Just curious if those of you out there that do
cognitive therapy have any recommendations on
comprehensive cognitive assessment tools.  I'm looking
for something with good norms in a large age range and
is fairly sensitive.  I'm not a fan of the SCATBI,
Cognistat, or the RIPA b/c they either don't have good
norms or are not sensitive enough.  The descriptions
for the DTLA-A, Wide Range Assessment of Memory and
Learning, and the Reynolds Intellectual Assessment
Scales sound good in the catalogues but I haven't used
them. Any comments on any of them or any other good
cognitive tools would be greatly appreciated.  

Thanks so much!
