DD10 recently went through a psycho-educational assessment to address our concerns about her potential ADHD/anxiety/OCD symptoms (getting worse since the start of remote learning). Fortunately, she is considered only borderline ADHD, but unfortunately Generalized Anxiety Disorder (DSM-V 300.02) and OCD (300.3) are diagnosed and confirmed. The psychologist recommended to join Supporting the Emotional Needs of the Gifted (SENG) to seek help for gifted/2E kids like DD. I think DYS program would be a better choice and it is close to home.
From the assessment report, DD�s FSIQ is 138 and short of the 145 requirements for DYS. However, the psychologist mentioned that DD was very anxious, and her hands were sweaty throughout the assessment. She also has score gaps in all VCI/VSI/FRI/WMI/PSI. Two subtests of each category are almost always one for 84% and another 98-99%. Can anyone give advice as to whether it is possible to substitute one subtest, say Symbol Search for Coding, to improve her FSIQ/GAI/EFI/etc.? Or did the psychologist make a mistake in calculation? Thanks a lot. Really appreciated. Here are her scores:
VCI: 124 95%
VSI: 122 93%
FRI: 144 99.8%
WMI: 125 95%
PSI: 129 97%
FSIQ: 138 99%
GAI: 137 99%
QRI: 139 99.5%
NVI: 135 99%
AWMI 125 95%
CPI 132 98%
