Getting my DS8 tested in a couple weeks. In meeting with the neuropsych she said she was leaning towards the DAS-II rather than the WISC V. SHe said for kids with low frustration tolerance (Definitely my kid) the DAS-II was the preferred choice.
I am not so sure.
His older brother was tested on both the DAS-II and WISC V over a few years. The WISC V gave us a much clearer picture. Gifted with ADHD.
My reasons for having my DS8 tested emanate from social/emotional issues we are seeing - intensity, sensitivity, perfectionism, explosiveness - so we are doing a full battery of tests to understand him better both cognitively and emotionally.
So, is the DAS-II the wrong choice? Does it matter? I feel better with the WISC V but not sure why.
