Grinity - love your GPS strategy!! I will pass this on to my daughter
RE - dyslexia. Many people with dyslexia have lower WM or PSI or both relative to the other index scores. But, in and of itself, low WMI does not indicate dyslexia. My profoundly dyslexic son has a strong working memory, and very low processing speed.
I would wait to see what the evaluation report says. Usually there evaluators do some testing in the area of reading/dyslexia. If there were any flags, it should be noted in the report.
My DD (low working memory) just reminded me of an incident a few years ago. We were taking a trip to Italy, she had converted her hard earned baby sitting money to Euro. And she left it in her room! Luckily we visited Paris two years later, and she was able to use the money there. And like Colomom's DD she has no trouble with lyrics, math facts or other information. There are so many different "kinds" of memory - a person can be off the chart strong in some aspects of memory, and incredibly weak in others. The brain is fascinating!
