Hi,
My 15 yo son was just labeled "Twice Exceptional" in a neuropsych report. The Dr. said his profile is unusual and special ed coordinator agreed. I hadn't ever heard of it, but the results seem to explain why school is so hard for him.
I'm looking for recommendations and insight - should I have additional tests? Other processing disorders? Here are his results:
WISC IV:
VCI - 128
PRI - 106
WMI - 88
PSI - 75
Coding - 4
Symbol - 7
Complex graphomotor speed - impaired (2nd percentile)
Woodcock-Johnson-3
Basic reading - 99
Reading comprehension - 118
math calculation - 96
Math reasoning - 111
Written expression - 95
D-KEFS Color-word interference
2nd, 37th, and 1st percentile
Verbal problem solving, visuospatial analogic reasoning, abstraction skills 95 percentile.
Info processing speed and complex psychomotor speed - impaired
Executive functioning - weak
Disparity stress and anxiety
There are a few other scores on the report but not sure if they are relevant. Dr didn't provide copies of the tests, just a 13 page report.
My son is smart but can't produce any written material in a reasonable amount of time. He works so hard but can't keep up. School is giving me a hard time about getting an IEP, says he doesn't qualify.
Meanwhile, I'm wondering about visual and auditory processing issues? Does graphomotor impairment mean the same as dysgraphia? Any other ideas?
Thanks, I appreciate any words of widsom.
