    Hi Dottie,
    You and I conversed last month about DYS eligibility of my son, who just turned 8. I have the final report for his testing. Interesting, the psych said that although his IQ score qualified for extended scoring, they would not score it because it would inflate his IQ compared to his achievement test scores, making it appear for him to have a learning disability, which he doesn't. She also said that is GAI is 147, which doesn't seem right. Like I said before, this process of quantifying intelligence makes me a bit green, so if his scores, as is, qualify him to DYS, then I am content.

    Do you observe anything worth commenting on with these scores? :

    Thanks for your response. he was 7.11 at the time of testing.

    So, do you think I would need to include a portfolio? I wasn't planning to. Do you know if musical talent would factor in.? He plays exquisite classical violin, would it be worthwhile to send a DVD?

    My goal is to get the app sent on Monday.
