Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to my post aeh! I�m so new to all of this, I was just looking for any help/observations that this group of experts could provide !
I was initially just putting my son�s scores out there to see how others interpreted them. I maybe should have provided more detail. I didn�t want to bore everyone!
You seems to have honed in on a few of my concerns.
I was worried about the spread in scores. Mainly wondering since he is only reading at an average 6 year old level (the psychologist said I should keep an eye on that which made me concerned) could be 2e or have convergence insufficiency. Or if it was simply because he�s 6 ! Like you suggested ;-)
I also wondered how �gifted� he looks on paper. I know that sounds ridiculous but I was looking for a few objective opinions from people who have experience with the WISC V. A little background is that talking to my son you quickly realize that he�s gifted and thinks quite differently than his peers (and has always done so) but so much of this is masked in the traditional school setting . He didn�t qualify for his school�s G and T program because he didn�t do well enough on the Cogat. He�s pretty unhappy at school which is hard to watch considering he has an insatiable appetite for learning (STEM , Dinosaurs, animals, how the world works etc). He�s a round peg and school is a square hole :-(I�ve already started meeting with the principal and key teachers to request differentiated instruction to see if that helps with his motivation towards his school work.
Any further advice from anyone here would be so appreciated. I realize he�s not profoundly gifted which is the main focus of this board but I really could use everyone�s expertise/experience.
Thank you!
