Non-verbal Intelligence Assessments  

What is the UNIT-2 non-verbal assessment?

The Universal Nonverbal Intelligence Test – Second Edition (UNIT-2) is an individually administered, norm-referenced measure of general intelligence. It is designed to provide a fair and accurate assessment of cognitive abilities for individuals who experience language or communication challenges.

​

Why Choose a non-verbal assessment?

Unlike traditional intelligence tests, the UNIT-2 uses a completely nonverbal format, meaning both instructions and responses rely on visual and gestural communication. This makes it particularly beneficial for individuals who:

​

• Are non-speaking or have limited verbal communication

• Experience receptive or expressive language delays

• Have hearing impairments

• Come from diverse cultural or linguistic backgrounds

​

By eliminating language-based barriers, the UNIT-2 provides a more equitable measure of intelligence, allowing for a clearer understanding of an individual's true cognitive strengths.

​

Who is this Assessment For?

The UNIT-2 is designed for children, adolescents, and young adults between the ages of 5 years to 21 years, 11 months.
