Kriston- I think actually that your point was exactly the psych's point that I saw. That fast does not equal smart in every case (or even in many cases) but that slow does not immediately equal learning disability either. That slow can actually even mean MORE smart but wrought with perfectionism. He explained primarily that you should not hold a child back from content because of PSI if everything else was high. You should instead realize that a "slow" child needs time to ruminate and stop pressuring fast but still give the content at the appropriate academic level.
