We recently had my son evaluated (almost 6) and received the diagnosis of severe ADHD. We thought he would be gifted based on his behaviors, academic performance, and family history.
The psychologist had to give us two scores. She redid two parts of the test because he was so distracted and the second score reflects those scores. She didn't redo processing speed which was his lowest overall area because she said regardless of the reason thats what his processing speed is.
So these are the second set of scores:
FSIQ 120, 91%
VCI 137, 99%
VSI 129, 97%
FR 127, 96%
WMI, 113, 81%
PSI, 97, 42%
Would he be considered verbally gifted but not globally gifted? Would his GAI score qualify him for giftedness? He took the WPPSI-IV.
His Woodcock Johnson Test scores were all very high, total score was 98%. It would have been 99% but his ADHD made him really mess up the Math Facts Fluency section. He is doing second grade math now as a kindergartener and got a 34% on that. The tester said he got overwhelmed by all of the questions on the same page.
Thanks for the feedback!
