Hi
I'm new here, I am in the UK so unfortunately can't apply to the DYS program for my DD but I am hoping I can still find some help and support here.
My DD was tested on WIAT-IV(EDIT - SHOULD READ WISC-IV) privately when she was 6yrs 10 months. (there is no government funded testing here).
The tests took over 3 hours to do, the pyschiatrist said it was because each time she took a really long while to get to the point of failure to stop each test. While DD enjoyed it a lot to begin with in the end her concentration was really wavering. The blcok design test was the last one to be done and DD just did not seem to be listening to what she had to do, and consequently it took her quite a few to figure it out for herself and her score pulled down her overall score, when I know it is the sort of thing she usually excels at.
I am wondering if I should have her tested again now she is older (9yrs) but I am not clear how much difference that would make overall and what the benefits are (it costs a lot so don't want to do it if it is a waste)
Her scores were
RAW Scaled Extended
SI 27 19 19
VC 34 15 15
CO 26 18 18
BD 30 14 14
PCn 23 19 20
MR 28 19 23
DS 20 18 18
LN 20 16 18
CD 65 19 19
SS 38 15 15
CA
Total 172 179
GAI Total 104 109
GAI 155 161
FSIQ 153 158
(also I don't understand why her LN score changes on the extended norms scale if it was not topped out on the standard?)
Any advice greatly appreciated
Gemma
