Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Identification, Testing & Assessment Processing speed too high for ability?

DS5 recently took the WPPSI-IV and CogAT 6 for placement into our district's Highly Capable program.



He was accepted into the program (conditionally) based on his CogAT scores. He is in the process of being evaluated for ADHD (his sister and I both have it). The dr doing this evaluation suggested he might struggle in a highly capable program because his processing speed is higher than his other abilities. Is that something I should be concerned with?
I am a little concerned with the discrepancy between his CogAT scores. I expected his verbal to be lower, but not that much lower.
Any thoughts would be appreciated!
