Ok I'm trying to decipher my DS6's test scores because I feel like there's something there I'm not knowledgeable enough to see. He's only been labeled "gifted" since November and I've been scrambling to educate myself on how best to help him. If anyone has any insight or direction I would greatly appreciate your input. Not looking for a diagnosis but more a direction. He's got some fairly challenging social skills issues. We have his 1st grade IEP in 2 weeks and since I'm a single parent (father lives out of state) its just me and everyone else who seem to know the lingo so much better than me!
So here goes:
WPPSI-III
Verbal 141
Performance 133
Full Scale 142
Subtests
Verbal
Information 16
Vocabulary 17
Word Reasoning 17
Performance
Block Design 13
Matrix Reasoning 17
Picture Concepts 16
Processing Speed
Coding 16
SB-5
Non Verbal 137
Verbal 136
Full Scale 138
Factor Index Scores
Fluid Reasoning 144
Knowledge 128
Quantitative Reasoning 122
Visual Reasoning 140
Working Memory 132
The SB-5 was given by a psychologist who thought DS6 was "potentially an exceptionally gifted student" but saw signs of a "cognitive processing disorder". The psychologist said that DS had trouble focusing on what the main issue was when given a picture where something was missing. For example if DS was shown a drawing of part of a bathroom where the tub was missing a drain DS pointed out that it wasn't a complete drawing of the bathroom because all the walls weren't drawn.
I've gotten such good info when I've posted I figured I'd just ask what may seem like a dumb question. Again any time taken to respond is greatly appreciated.
