Yes, I was speaking of point difference, with WMI or PSI at 88. I'm pretty sure she said PSI, but that her working memory was also low, I'm just not sure how low.
This is my twin who has a more mild cerebral palsy. (She had a low level of oxygen for an unknown period of time because of a medical mistake when she was 24 hours old.) This is the DD who they told us was deaf at 6 months old. Her hearing is actually very good according to the brain study they did when she was an infant (ABR). She was immediately placed into speech therapy with the statement that she "didn't understand the importance of sound".
She didn't start reading until last year. Now she is reading as well as and with better comprehension than her twin but everything is very slow and she really works at it. (I am anxiously awaiting her achievement results because her last DORA exam had her reading comprehension at 7th grade. I will be interested to see how accurate that is.) I have been concerned because she still has some letter reversals, she struggles to get information out in math. It is there, she is doing the same program as her sister right now(at different times of the day) but you can see that she needs something presented in different ways and she can get the same answer as her twin but she seems to really work to pull out the information. At first I thought she just wasn't working to level, but it is an information retreival problem.
I will call and see about having her tested through the audiology department at the school again. She hasn't been tested since she was put into speech therapy. Who would be the person to tell me if she is dyslexic? Is that covered under the neuropsychologist report or is that something different?
