Well, I found this forum when DD7 was an atypical baby, and all my searches kept bringing me back to this community, peppered with people who raised similarly challenging babies.
But today was the day we got the formal evaluation and the confirmation that our DD is gifted. (She has an ADHD hyperactive type diagnosis, and some sensory processing disorder issues.)
So the quick look at results after today's WISC-IV:
VCI 146 (topped out the test I think he said)
PRI 141
GAI 154-157 >99.9% (he said he needed to look at this further because of the VCI)
Result: gifted, ADHD, dysgraphia
DD is struggling to read in first grade, and she works her math problems slowly and carefully. We/teacher suspect some LD, the psychologist suggested dysgraphia. The psychologist said she should/could be performing in the 5th-6th grade level for reading and math.
Did I hear that right? No wonder she is going bonkers with first grade homework.
She'd much rather have an IQ test every day, she said lol
We are so relieved to know for a fact that this tornado-brained kid may meet the criteria for extra support from the district. It's not my imagination: she's festering there!
