Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Twice Exceptional Scores, and a few questions

After a very long wait and extensive testing, I finally have the scores for my child.

He has very high verbal and high perceptual reasoning scores, but his processing speed is low. His verbal is 138, and his processing speed is 88. Is it normal to have such a large variation ?

Also, the neuropsych has adminstered a test called Beery Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual Motor Intergration and he scored 88 (which is very low). No further recommendations were given based on this test. What (if anything) should I be doing to remediate this ?

Should I also request a GAI score, in addition to the FSIQ score ?

His WJ scores are as follows. What does age equivalent mean ? Can I translate these scores to saying " 1 in ____ number of kids have this score, similar to what can be done for verbal, WM, Processing, Perceptual Reasoning ?"

What do these age equivalents mean in the context of WJ scores ?

Broad Reading Age Equiv Standard Score
Broad Reading 11-9 133
Letter Word
Identification 12-11 138
Reading fluency 11-5 140
Passage Comprehension 10-2 123

Spelling 17-0 152

Broad Math 10-8 158
Calculations 10-10 159
Math fluency 8-8 126
Applied problems 11-7 144
Math Calc Skills 10-3 153

DS is 7 years 2 months at the time of testing.

I'll also start another thread for his accomodations. I'll probably also edit his scores at a later date.

Any help is greatly appreciated
