Hi all, I'm new here. After reading the posts on here for about two months I've decided to post my own. I apologize in advance, I have a feeling this might be long but I'll try to be as brief as possible. I just want to understand my kid as best I can and after IQ testing I have some answers and even more questions than before. I guess the basic question I'm asking here is after reviewing all the following information should we bother to have our child re-tested when he is 6 yrs so that he can potentially qualify for DYS?

DS is 4 1/2 yrs now. Taught himself to read before he was 2 yrs. After learning to read he wouldn't do much else resulting in low muscle tone in his hands = poor fine motor skills. He has been doing OT and piano and is getting much better.

He took the WIPPSI III at 4 yr 3 mo in April 2013 Scores:

Verbal 143 (99.8%)
Performance 137 (99%)
Processing Speed 125 (95%)
Full Scale IQ 144 (99.8%)

Woodcock Johnson III Test of Achievement
Broad Reading SS 140
Broad Math SS 131
Brief Reading SS 185
Brief Math SS 131
Math Calc Skills SS 115

There are a few more scores but I don't know if you need those. Also he was tested at school and they determined that he is reading and comprehending at a 5th grade level. The Dr. that tested him said that he believed his score would be higher in math if he was taught math and he could tell he hasn't been worked with in math (which is true). He also noted the fine motor delay and that WIPPSI IV might be a better test for him because it doesn't include as much fine motor. He recommended that we re-test him when he is 6 on a different test. He seemed to indicate that he thought DS would score higher on a different test. I know there are other kids out there that read as well or better than DS but this particular Dr told us that he personally has not met anyone so young that reads so well and he is a specialist in gifted testing.

Also the school that he is currently attending wants to skip him from pre-school to kindergarten in the fall. Good idea?

So please help. What do all these scores mean? I don't believe that DS qualifies for DYS right now. Should we bother re-testing later? This is all so new to us and I often feel overwhelmed. Any insight is greatly appreciated.
