To also answer your question, the neuropsych's report said that the test is NOT a good estimate of his overall intellectual ability.
Since I'm not a doc I'm just trying to understand if one high subtest can mean anything in getting my child gifted services. He is gifted--I know. The program at our school is total research/project based which he does at home on his own already. It is RIGHT up his alley. Is there any way I can make a case for him being gifted with such awful scores and ADHD to boot?
I would probably try to get a different test. I don't think you could make a case for getting gifted services because of one high subtest score on an IQ test. A person would probably have more luck if a child had either a high non-verbal or a high verbal score but not on just one subtest. I know the Stanford Binet is not timed so a kid with ADHD or processing speed issues might do better on it. But I don't have personal experience with it.
