Hi, everybody.
My DS' (6 years 2 months) school did a testing to see if he qualifies as a gifted. He did, but the psychologist thinks that the current gifted program (pull-outs twice a week for 30 minutes) will not be enough for him. And, since he is is going to be the only student in this program for the entire elementary school, there is not a whole lot of peers on his level.
I looked at the admission requirements for DYS and it seems to me that he is really on the border. Do you think he has a chance? I do not want to go through all this paperwork if he is obviously not going to make it.
WISC-IV:
IQ - 146
VC - 148
PR -141
WM -141
PS - 109 ( the psychologist said that he had trouble with writing and was tired so his score on this should be somewhat higher when he improves his fine motor skills)
Similarities - 19
Vocabulary - 19
Comprehension - 16
Block Design - 13
Pictures Concept - 18
Matrix Reasoning - 19
Digit Span - 17
Letter Seq - 17
Coding - 10
Symbol Search - 13
WIAT - III
Total Reading - 144
Basic Reading - 150
Written Expression - 139
Math - 137
Math Fluency - 125
It seems to me that DS barely clears the bar on WISC, but fails to do so by a point on WIAT, so basically he does not meet the acceptance criteria, right?
I would appreciate any input.
