Thanks! I am just in shock.... Yet I know these results were very reflective of what he was able to do and they fill in data that makes sense of other things. I am beyond thankful to be able to apply for DYS once I get the reports next month. I need all the help I can get.
My DS finally opened up more about school last night. He says, "I just have to work so hard and then it's totally worthless because I don't ever even learn anything!"
With sub scores way up in the 150's on lots of the achievement, how do you meet his need to learn without letting his disabilities become barriers?
And how do you explain the significance of a 4 SD spread to those who don't have any understanding of testing (i.e. elementary teachers)?
I know this is testing talk but it's mostly about 2e for us...
These results also left me remembering how I scored just under gifted range on my FSIQ when I was 11. I really want to get copies of those tests as I remember the tester saying I tanked processing and I remember being totally stuck copying block patterns.
With just a FSIQ my kid would be "bright". Going forward I need to be aware of this...
Also obvious on this round of testing is that ANY written or timed component shuts him down fast. Written AND timed brings total shut down, major anxiety attack, and full on refusal.
