Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Identification, Testing & Assessment New here - would you question this 2e diagnosis?

Thanks for the POV on your DH and DS,Percy. Polarbear, you asked about sub-tests. I'm still learning and figuring out what all this means, but here are his results on WISC-IV:

Processing Speed -- Coding 6 (low average), Symbol Search 11 (Average)

Working Memory -- Digit Span and Letter-Number Sequencing both 14 (Superior)

Perceptual Reasoning -- Block Design and Matrix Reasoning both 17 (very superior) Picture Concepts 12 (high average)

Verbal Comprehension -- Similarities and Comprehension both 15 (superior), Vocabulary 18 (very superior)

For those of you who have looked at ADHD test results, here were the TEA-Ch subtest results:

Sky Search: Targets Found 5 (borderline), Time per Target 2 (mildly deficient) and Attention Score 1 (moderately deficient)

Score: 8 (average)

Sky Search DT: 1 (moderately deficient)

Score DT: 8 (average)

Walk, Don't Walk: 12 (high average)

Conners/CPT-II was clinical with 61.61 percent confidence.


I'm meeting with a second psychologist to get her read on things sometime in the next week or so -- any further insight or questions to ask would be hugely appreciated!

Seriously, I know I've said this every post, but I'm incredibly grateful for the time you all have spent helping me understand and figure out what's next. Really, really grateful.
