Our DS (9 yrs 10 months) recently took the WISC IV and WJ III. We had DS tested because both public and private schools have not been a good fit for him. He does well academically, but he is not a high achiever (he does not strive for good grades, he just loves to learn). He struggles with writing (output in general) and organization. He is bored in class and has read every textbook numerous times under his desk while the teacher teaches. DS�s 3rd and 4th grade teachers have hinted at ADHD, but his doctor did not feel comfortable giving him that diagnosis. However, the doctor did diagnose DS with dysgraphia.
We welcome any thoughts on his scores, specifically on the huge difference between the VCI and PS. Also, do the scores on the WISC and WJ seem consistent? Unfortunately, we did not receive much from the psychologist in the interpretation of his scores. Thanks in advance!!!
