This is a follow-up to
my post earlier this year which gives some background.
DD7 (8 in two months) took the WISC-IV yesterday. Even though I won�t have the full score report for two weeks, I have the basic scores and am anxious for more insight into what they might mean:
VCI 146
PRI 140
WMI 129
PSI 121
FSIQ 145
He said her GAI score was 154, and suggested it may be more accurate than the FSIQ due to discrepancies (?). That�s all I have in terms of numbers right now.
One thing that really surprised me was how she was after the test. I fully expected her to be frustrated and exhausted after two hours of testing--as she sometimes gets after a few minutes of homework--but instead she came out looking happier and more stimulated than I have seen her in quite some time. She stayed that way the rest of the day and asked when she could go back and do more. That to me was the most telling sign that we need to get her into a more stimulating environment.
Would these numbers get her into DYS? The psychologist mentioned that but also mentioned an additional achievement test, which I am wondering whether she would score high on since she�s not the �little professor� in any particular subject (unless you count imaginative play)
.
Anyway, it all comes down to doing what�s best for her and I think this test was a step in the right direction. I�m grateful to this forum for all the information and inspiration I�ve gotten in my lurking and would appreciate any more insight/advice. Thanks!
