thanks everyone these response are intense and wonderful! lots of things to think about. The EF piece is just something i haven't come acrsoss on my own. I feel i have kind of a dumb question after all this. If he was your kid, would you push for enrichment services. Is he gifted? The gifted services become available next year, though i am unclear how kids qualify exactly. He seems to have such a thirst for higher level knowledge, however, I am afraid that his weaknesses may make it very difficult for him to keep up with the other kids and it would backfire.
also, does anyone have any idea what types of real life tasks would be associated with a very high score on picture concepts?
i'd love to have an example of types of things he could really ace.. he got a 19 (but really a 21 when i looked up his raw score in extended scale).
