We just finished extensive neuropsych evaluation, and my DS6 (almost 7) is very, very similar to yours. I posted relevant numbers in the 2e section and you should check them out! I edited out absolute values, but left in the intervals. Private message me if you want to talk about the absolute values. I'm no expert here, but I can tell you one useful thing - based on the score spreads and on some additional assessment, DS was indeed diagnosed with dyslexia/dysgraphia. We are jumping into researching therapies, and hope to actually be able to get him some meaningful support. Also - reading this thread is the first time I've been grateful that DS expresses his anxiety/struggles in school as "fight", not "flight." I see so clearly that his disruptive/rough behavior in school pushed us in a way that a quieter, more internalized struggle on his part never would have done. When I have heard of other PG kids' quieter struggles, I always wished DS would struggle more quietly, too. But now I realize that his spectacularly un-quiet struggles pushed us to look harder, sooner. And I'm so glad we did. Note to self - Try to keep this frame of mind in place as I dive into the school struggles this year. We still have a lot to figure out about what DS's assessment tells us. But it feels good to have something to really work on! Sue Thank you for your response. I will look at your thread. You don't happen to live in the SE US? I'd love to I meet up (ETA -- oh, your profile says CA. Bummer) I understand what you're saying about behavior with regards to struggles. IDK which category DS falls into, all I know is at this age school should not be hard but fun and easy, especially for a gifted kid. But everything written is a struggle and not fun for him unless he just writes willy-nilly (not carefully). He can write and write but at least half of a whole page is usually illegible. BTW, can anyone explain between verbal IQ and verbal index? I don't even know the difference! Last edited by Displaced; 09/02/14 10:37 AM. Life is the hardest teacher. It gives the test first and then teaches the lesson.
