Hello-

We received the results of my son's WPPSI IV today. He was tested for admission at a school and while we received a report, we aren't quite sure how to interpret it. As the test was done as part of a school admission process, we cannot just call the psychologist and demand more interpretation.

If it matters, my son is almost five.



As you can see, there is a huge discrepancy between his Fluid Reasoning and Processing Speed and the Verbal Comprehension score. I am concerned that this indicates some kind learning disability or processing issue. I've read that it might indicate a visual processing problem?

To be honest, I was expecting to see some kind of discrepancy because I have felt that my son is struggling with something even though he's so bright in other areas. Specifically, he has a hard time with writing, social skills and gross motor/coordination activities. I'd really appreciate any insight you can provide about if these scores indicate a problem and, if so, what it might be (and what we can do to help him!)

Thank you so much!
