OP, do you know if there were 2 or 4 subtests on the WASI your dd was given? And do you have the subtest scores from the SB-V?
Just a guess, but I'm wondering if the difference in the two FSIQs isn't perhaps due to scatter in subtest scores (areas of strengths), particularly since the WASI is an abbreviated form of the WISC used as a screener, in which either two or four (depending on the version) of WISC-type subtests are given (if I understand it correctly). I think if you wanted a fair comparison between SB-V and Weschler for any given student, you'd need to give the full WISC. I am also stating this from memory.... so don't hold me to it - I could be way off! But... is there a chance that the WASI was only testing Verbal, not Non-verbal ability? That's perhaps another reason for the difference in FSIQ.
