He likes school, but has become very lazy. He knows the material without studying and does not care if he gets an occasional bad grade due to lack of effort. One of the reasons I had the testing done was to see if he was simply unchallenged or truly had attention issues. It is probably a little bit of both. We meet with a psych next week to discuss whether or not to medicate.
Sounds a lot like my DD at that age. I assumed the grades were dropping due to laziness and boredom for way too long. Oh, if I could go back in time with what I know now, I would take back every thought I ever thunk in regards to my DD being "lazy".
Wouldn't WMI and PSI of 112-113 be more like 80th percentile? This doesn't sound like much of a "roadblock" to me, but maybe others have more insight?
The way I understand it is that even if the WM and PS are average or even above average, if they are > 15 points lower than the VCI or PRI for that child, they are insufficient to run that child's program efficiently. Sort of like the software is just too advanced for the available RAM and processor...
