Hi, Can someone help? (aeh!?) School has sent back my son's eval and has found no learning disability. Which I am happy about. However, I do not trust them as they told me twice my older son had no learning disability and he has severe dysgraphia.
So, here are some of the scores (I have more) for my son's most recent eval:
He has two particularly low scores on the WJ-IV-COG - in Letter Pattern Matching he scored in the 23rd percentile, deemed "low average" and in Story recall he scored in the 29th percentile. Those seems so low to me especially considering all of the other scores for that assessment are in the Superior and Very Superior range.
Here are the PAL scores, WIAT and TOWL scores. I bolded some I think are concerning.
