GAI was not included - if I am calculating correctly I get a 148.
I, too, am getting a 148 for GAI. A couple of things stand out here to me:
1) the VCI percentile is incorrect. 138 cannot be the 99.9th percentile while 141 is the 99.7th in the PRI as they are both working off of the same mean (100) and standard deviation (15). I believe that 138 is the 99th and 141 is, technically, the 99.6th b/c it straddles the point btwn the 99.6th and 99.7th. You, technically need one more point (a 142) to be at the 99.7th. Okay, off my nitpicking of the tester's scoring...
2) His processing speed doesn't actually look slow in that his block design score was high and in line with his other abilities and block design is also a timed test. I'd wonder about whether distractibility, like you mention, or anxiety, or lots of mistakes, or fatigue played more into the speed index than true low speed.
I wouldn't be surprised that he is squirmy. He is a young boy and he is probably bored with the academic material. Do you have any options for subject acceleration or enrichment that might make the work more engaging for him?
