Thanks for the informative reply. It gives me some things on which to focus.

"Very superior" meant a 136 on VCI section of the WISC-IV, however, because of his fine motor (handwriting and such) impairment, the other subtests may have been invalid. Also, the psychologist said he felt his FSIQ is in the same range, but that both were probably even higher than "very superior" He may be "profoundly gifted".

We need to find a way to evaluate him that doesn't use handwriting. How do they evaluate kids with no hands?

He scored significantly higher on the PRI subtest that did not involve writing or fine motor skills...even moving the blocks around was very difficult for him and he scored so low on that subtest that the difference between his scores statistically occurs in 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 100,000. However, he could verbalize what he wanted to do.

Finances....gosh...none to even consider! This is so scary.
