Okay, friends. Our ds 6 yrs, 2 mo completed the WISC IV yesterday! Where I liked the psychologist, I did not feel I understood him well. He kept telling me about the politics of "giftedness". Frankly, I guess he took away the "specialness of it for me!" All that aside, I just wanted to understand my son's results! I'm hoping someone on here can enlighten me!
I am wondering why the huge gap in Verbal Comprehension and Perceptual Reasoning, if I need to worry about that, etc?
What is a GIA? We were not given that number? What would ds's be?
What does this gifted label really mean? With the different levels of giftedness, I guess I am torn about how special his needs are...I get his is not profound, I never thought he was, but what does HIS level mean? I've read all the articles, I want real people's opinions!
Will his school finally take us seriously? (sarcasm!)
Any info/ideas you have would be appreciated! Thanks!
