Based on his VCI, he would be considered just into the moderately gifted range. His VSI and FRI are both on the border of High Average and Superior, thus not gifted range. His WMI is mildly weak, and his PSI is significantly low, as it is both a normative and a personal weakness of some magnitude. These two areas are often affected in children with ADHD, but may also be low in children with other exceptionalities. In his case, I would wonder about
1. Possible 2e
2. Were there differences between the WMI subtests? Did he do better with the auditory task (digit span) than the visual task (picture span)?
3. Are there fine motor or other reasons for the low PSI? Did he do better on symbol search (reduced motor demands) than on coding? Did he do better on the motor-free VSI task (visual puzzles) than the motor-involved task (block design)?
4. Do you see the testing profile borne out in real life? E.g., good oral language skills, slow to complete or reluctant to do written/fine-motor tasks, needs directions repeated, better in verbal tasks than visual tasks.
Just a few thoughts with which to begin.
