I learned today, from my child psych, that the WISC IV can't even be used to for FSIQ due to the huge discrepancy between PRI and VCI and discrepancy within VCI (although the school calculated it anyway). DS has anxiety issues that compromised his verbal performance with a stranger she feels and she doesn't think that the VCI is accurate. She is going to go back over the WJ and the WISC for us to determine if he needs further testing or if there might be some hidden LD.
We'd do explore next year as he would be in 3rd grade then
This is the main point. Keep pressing the school to let the math go at the child's needed pace, and 'hothouse' talking to strangers. There may be more than anxiety behind that spread, so further testing seems like a good idea. Some kids get much more calm when the majority of their schoolwork is 'a good fit' to their intellectual readiness.
Lots of us Gifties tend to be anxious, and have had varying amounts of success 'making other choices' (LOL!) about how to be.
So start a topic about your favorite question regarding anxiety if you wish. We love talking!
Love and More Love,
