Thanks all! I have to say I am positively astounded at his working memory score. This is a kid who, when first tested, was like borderline working memory or something. I was really worried about it b/c even though it can be taken out via GAI - I wondered if his working memory is so bad how will he function in the world? Then he was given the SBV a little under a year later and it went up to average(low average) (unfortunately no GAI equivalent for SBV so that and processing brough down his SBCV scores I think). He tested with the WISC IV again at 1 year and half later and it comes in at superior? WTH? I am so surprised I am half tempted to call the tester and ask if she is sure she didn't have his score confused with someone elses... I mean, I am thrilled but really surprised. He didn't do any formal programs (like cog-med, pace)to help it (though I looked into it). He has done VT and, over the summer, an intense course of that combination tomatis/proprioception/reflex integration therapy. But I didn't think such therapy would affect his WM much. I have to say I don't think I see much improvement in it behaviorally...
Also, He scored "high average in the "Children's Category Test" which, in the report, is labled as a test of "Higher Cortical/Executive Functions" and the tester briefly described it in the report as a "measure of concept formation and mental flexibility" but she didn't say much more about this test. What I find interesting and suprising is the label of it as a test of "Executive Function" and my kid scoring a "high averge" on it... Again, executive function in his everyday behavior seems to be a weakness of his... Does anyone know anything about this test and what it means? Just wondering. Just seems odd.
