Hi all, I'm a new poster, and fairly new to trying to figure all this out. A little background - my DS8 was recently IQ tested as part of a full evaluation at school that was authorized due to suspected (and confirmed through the OT part of the eval) sensory processing issues.
Anyway, I'm trying to make some sense of his WISC IV scores. I do not have raw scores, just scaled and composites. What is hard for me to figure out is what to do with them given the large discrepancy between the verbal and others... I have done some reading up, and realize he's "gifted" but don't quite know what to do with the "not meaningful given significant discrepancy in domain scores."
Here they are:
VCI - 150 composite/ 55 scaled
subtests:
similarities = 19 (she stopped when he 'maxed' out, was not given the extended)
vocabulary = 19 (same as above)
comprehension = 17
PRI - 115 composite / 37 scaled
block design = 14
matrix reasoning = 12
picture concepts = 11
WM - 120 composite / 27 scaled
digit span = 11
letter-number sequencing = 16
arithmetic = 14 (*note, this is a timed test, and he has repeatedly demonstrated problems with timed activities, both in regular classwork/homework situations and in his WIAT testing)
PSI - 97 composite / 19 scaled
coding = 8
symbol search = 11
cancellation = 9
FSIQ = 129
(I've calculated his GAI based on the online forms, and its 92)
Given what I've read, and given his other physical processing issues, the processing scores don't really concern me. Its just a question of how to interpret the scores overall given that the verbal is at least 23 points (could be higher if allowed the extended testing?) higher than the rest of the categories.
Thanks in advance!
