I know I'm a newbie, and I'm not sure if we really qualify for this board, since my dd is not profoundly gifted, but she has a puzzling mixture of skills and deficits that led us to pursue testing. I have an appointment to talk to the neuropsych next week, and I'm trying to figure out what I need to address. Here are the scores.

WISC - IV

Verbal Comprehension overall 119 - 90th %
Vocabulary -15

Digit Span 11
Letter-Number Sequencing 11

Processing Speed - 83 (13th %) - What does this mean?

On the written report he dx her with anxiety disorder with obsessive/ compulsive features, a social learning disability, mild ADD, and a written language disorder. In the meeting he had said she had dyslexia, but that is not stated in the written report. He noted a lot of reversals in her writing and that her drawings were immature, more like a 5 yr old than a 7.5 yr old.

So nothing exceptional, but lots of disparity between strengths and weaknesses. I'm also wondering what the difficulties in the different memory tests mean and how they effect her in daily life. What does the low processing score indicate? What is a social learning disability and how is it treated? We homeschool, but what programs should I use in her curriculum for reading, writing, spelling, and math? How do I teach her academic information? She can repeat a complicated story verbatim days later, but she can't remember her address. And besides addressing the learning disabilities, is there a way I can make use of her high ability in other areas?

Why is her memory for stories so high and her memory for faces so low? Why is her other memory relatively low? What do those things indicate? What does difficulty remembering faces mean?

He suggested counseling and tweaking her anxiety medication. I am wondering if we need to address the ADD at all. He suggested we teach her to type. He also suggested a "program of academic remediation," but I don't really know what that means or specifically what needs to be done.

If anyone has made it this far, thank you. I would value comments or advice.
