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?
Ask yourself this-- is there
any reason to suspect that any of the values associated are HIGHER than they legitimately are?
Probably not, right? So those are
baseline values, obtained without controlling for his (now known) adhd. Your expert has already stated that the values are NOT a good estimate. I'd say that they do tell you one thing, though-- that your child is ABOVE those levels, whatever else may have been true.
