Hello. I had my son, who is 9 and in the 4th grade, tested recently and just got his test scores back and I'm just wondering what people who have gone through this before would recommend. I thought having him tested would give me answers but really it just created more questions. He took the WISC-IV. Here are his scores:
Verbal Comprehension 150
Perceptual Reasoning 127
Working Memory 110
Processing Speed 106
Full Scale IQ 133
I don't know exactly where this puts him in the scope of being gifted, but I know he needs more than his normal class room can offer him. I gave the report to his teachers and to the director of the highly capable program for the school district. I also sent it to the principal of a local private school for gifted children. He is really happy at his current school though and I know any change will upset him, I just don't know what would be best for him.
I also read the article someone else had posted about slow processing speed and the gap between his verbal comprehension and processing speed has me concerned. Does anyone here have any experience with that or any other information on it?
Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
