DS was in the 2nd percentile on the working memory index!!!! Even though on the surface- what I read about it seems accurate- him being that low doesn't seem to match up with what I see in him (distractable and forgets direction easily- but not to the 2% level!)
The sub test were- Digit span- 7 Letter-number seq- 2 and (arithmetic)- 15

Hoping someone can shed light on this a bit.


Did your child have an audiology exam as part of the workup for dyslexia? The big gap between the two subtests that rely heavily on listening and the one that does not is kind of a red flag for me.
