Hi all -
We got testing results back for my DD8 today. The psychologist diagnoses:

--Reading disorder - because IQ is 140, verbal IQ is 138 (both WISC), but WJ-3 Broad Reading is 107, 33 points below.

--Disorder of written expression - again, WISC IA is 140, verbal IQ of 138, but broad written score is 101 - 39 points lower.

--LD not otherwise specified - on the math, her Broad Math was 133, with calculation at 137 (99 percentile) applied problems at 127 (96 percentile) but fluency at 101 (52nd percentile) - 31 points below.

I am wondering how the school is likely to react. Does anyone know if this a common way to diagnose a learning disorder, by looking at the gaps? Or will this be an unfamiliar approach to them?

Also wondering - does this mean she has dyslexia? Or can she have disorders of writing/reading that is not dyslexia?

Also wondering - what the heck are we going to do now? :-) We like our public school, but I just don't know what sort of resources they might have for our girl. But that's probably not one for this board, eh? :-)

Thank you!
