My second grader has some strong wisc scores but is not broadly gifted, but I would appreciate your thoughts here anyway. His recent WISC-V scores showed verbal @ 130/98th, visual-spatial 108/70th, fluid reasoning 128/97th, working memory 110/75th, and processing speed 86/18th. The psychologist would not report FSIQ due to the pronounced spread in scores and reported his GAI at 127/96th.
He has ADHD (was not properly medicated at the time of testing) and a developmental coordination disorder impacting visual-motor coordination (will be receiving vision therapy this summer followed by OT). We are working on getting him an IEP, but it is not in place yet.
It was suggested to us based on his GAI (127/96th) that he would qualify for the TD program. However, it looks like the school insists on the FSIQ, which I'm sure is insufficient.
Do you think the GAI might be accepted once his 504 is in place? Or should I accept that my "smart but slow" boy really just isn't suited for a TD classroom?
Thanks for your thoughts!
