DD scored 94 for processing speed (she had just turned 8). Interestingly, her Woodcock Johnson writing fluency score was nearly the same, I think 89. Did he do writing fluency? I think there is some degree of perfectionism involved because DD's handwriting on both the coding section and the fluency section looked over-the-top neat. She was trying very hard to do well with ALL the tests and she's too young to think "Oh, this is timed, they are looking for my speed, not at my handwriting" (even though I tried to explain that to her beforehand). On the other hand, she IS very slow with class, in general, even when she's not trying very hard to write perfectly. It seems like writing is not "automatic" for her, when I watch her do things like write the alphabet as fast as she can. We see evidence of the slow processing in real life. And I can also see how she speeds up when she is medicated, because she's not losing focus as often.
