My son was diagnosed with Sensory Processing Disorder in preschool and ADHD in Kindergarten (takes meds). I requested gifted testing in 5th grade. Testing results follow:
WISC IV SS
Verbal Comprehension 124
Perceptual Reasoning 137
Working Memory 120
Processing Speed 103
FSIQ 129
WJ-III SS
Broad Math 114
Broad Written Lang 113
Reading Comp 115...
(All subtests had a SS of between 110 - 118)
He struggles in school with completing homework, writing in planner, organization... Says he hates to write, writes only the bare minimum to answer questions.
Took the ACT through Duke TIP program his 7th grade year:
English 23
Math 19
Reading 29
Science 23
Composite Score of 24
His IEP includes gifted services (enrichment 1 1/2 hours a week.
My questions are-
1. Should he qualify for something with the discrepancy between IQ of 129 and processing speed of 103?
2. Should we have additional testing for dysgraphia? Who should test and what tests?
Any comments would be greatly appreciated. I am just trying to figure out this world of 2E for my son.
