    Hey incog - when my DS10 was having some problems, I had a teacher ask me about possible mid-line issues. That wasn't what his problem was (his is the visual stuff) but I did find this website that might help you.

    Sorry Incog,
    My kids (my daughter at least) have auditory perception difficulties, while visual perception is strength. I haven�t researched the visual issues.

    No problem. I'm keeping an eye out for the auditory thing for her sister. She scored 99th percentile in every single sub-category for the WIAT except for listening comprehension and spelling where she was in the 70th percentile.....kind of weird, huh?

    At the very least, I would think that visual perception is a strength and auditory abilities a relative weakness, especially taking into consideration the above info and that she learned to read by sight.

    True, I probably shouldn't worry about it, it just seemed really out of line with the rest of her scores, but as Dottie says, it's just one test from one day.
