Update! The awesome diagnostician who did the testing sent me a copy of the full report from the Kaufman s/w. I've updated his scores with percentiles - age equivs - grade equiv.
***********************
So, I'm not super familiar with this test, but it's what the school diagnostician used with DS8. (K-ABC 2nd edition) This is what I got from the draft-copy of the report she sent me:
Sequential (short-term memory) 115 (106-122) Average
Simultaneous (visual/spatial memory) 139 (127-145) Upper Extreme
Learning (long-term retrieval) 144 (135-149) Upper Extreme
Planning (fluid reasoning) 135 (126-140) Upper Extreme
Knowledge 114 (106-120) Average
Fluid Crystallized Index 144 (138-148) Upper Extreme
Confidence was 90%.
Then there's explanations of each test. Then there is another section that lists it out like this:
Sequential - 115
Simultaneous - 139
Learning - 144
Planning - 135
Knowledge - 114
Fluid Crystallized Index: 144 (99.8%)
Sequential - Scaled Score (84%)
Number Recall - 14 (91% - 15:4)
Word order - 11 (63% - 9:0)
Simultaneous - Scaled Score (99.5%)
Rover - 15 (95% - 15:8)
Block Counting - (nothing here)
Triangles - 17 (99% - 14:4)
Knowledge - Scaled Score (85%)
Verbal Knowledge - 13 (84% - 9:9)
Riddles - 12 (75% - 9:0)
Learning - Scaled Score (99.8%)
Atlantis - 16 (98% - 14:4)
Rebus - 18 (99.6% - 17:6)
Planning - Scaled Score (99%)
Story Completion - 12 (75% - 9:9)
Pattern Reasoning - 19 (99.9% - >18:6)
She also did the K-TEA (achievement test)
Reading Composite - 124 (121-129) Above Average (95%)
Letter & Word Recognition - 120 (117-123) Above Average (91% - 11:0 - 5.8)
Reading Comprehension - 122 (117-127) Above Average (93% - 11:0 - 5.4)
Math Composite - 128 (123-133) Above Average (97%)
Math Concepts & Applications - 119 (113-125) Above Average (90% - 10:0 - 4.8)
Math Computation - 127 (121-133) Above Average (96% - 9:9 - 4.0)
Written Language Composite - 117 (111-123) Above Average (87%)
Written Expression - 109 (100-118) Average (73% - 9:9 - 3.10)
Spelling - 122 (117-127) Above Average (93% - 11:0 - 5.4)
--------------------
All this says to me his strengths appear to be understanding concepts and reasoning.. is that correct? His written expression score is quite low compared to everything else, but that doesn't surprise me. He doesn't much care for writing, unless it's his own stories.
I really liked the recommendations she listed.. I'll put those in a second post. I feel like I might make this box blow up.
