Thank you, Dottie! If I can get half what I've gotten from these forums out of DYS, it would be worthwhile! Just need to find the time for the application...
As to our tester, the mentions of GAI/extended norms on these forums had made my wonder about her level of expertise, as she did not mention them in her discussion of the scores. Before I used her again or reccomended her to friends, I wanted to get a sense of her knowledge level.
As to the analysis, I had hoped for more discussion of how the WISC subscores related to each other - for example, the PSI of 118 seemed awfully low compared to the VCI score of 148.
There were also some "huh?" academic reccomendations in the tester's summary. My dd had just finished K5 at the time of the report and the WJ showed a 5th grade reading equivalency - but the reccomendation was that she be placed in the next grade for reading.
I don't know how many WISC reports you may have reviewed, but do you think the lack of a mention of GAI/extended norms is a cause for concern? Also, is there anything blatantly obvious to you about how the scores interelate? And finally, any resources you can reccomend for understanding & interpreting WISC results? (There might even be something here in the forums.) My take-away when I saw the WISC scores was "well, it looks like she's good at language arts." I suspect I could get more!
Thanks again!
