Thanks so much for your response.
We have sat down with the tester to discuss but it was a bit of a whirlwind meeting.
Should I request the WISC subtest scores and the actual WISC scores from the psych.?
I am worried that at the meeting tomorrow they will want to focus on the processing weakness LD - which I think will be a huge detriment to him. Given his self doubt comments I really think that being able to excel at something will give him a huge boost.
In an informal conversation with the principal, she had indicated that she wasn't sure if his scores would qualify for a gifted identification - so I don't know if we will have a battle on our hands. I feel really bad about not advocating for him sooner but I was hoping that with time/maturity his school performance would catch up with what we see at home.
Is there a way to increase the processing speed? I would love to hear about it, if there are any suggestions...
