Thanks puffin and aeh for your replies! I do believe that his visual memory and attention to visual stimuli are much stronger than his auditory/language skills and I wasn't sure how the school could help him out with accommodations aside from the ones that aeh was so good with pointing out!
I too was perplexed by the low achievement scores (in passage comprehension and reading recall on Woodcock Johnson). The tester did make note in the commentary that he was extremely preoccupied with giving the correct answers during the comprehension test and I only have to assume that anxiety probably played a role in the retell/recall testing too. However, upon reviewing his WISC-V scores again, maybe there is some difficulty with manipulation of language because on the VCI, he got an 11 on the Similarities subtest and a 14 on Vocabulary. Seems to me to be statistically significant...percentile ranking was 63% vs 91%. What is the standard deviation for the scaled scores?
