Actually, I am thrilled they do the Processing Speed Index and, for obvious reasons, I am thrilled the index is most often not used against a child in terms of gifted id. The processing speed index was a strong tool that I used to advocate for accommodations and proving my son is gifted as well as learning disabled and BOTH need to be addressed. I love the WISC for that very reason. smile
