Well the previous testing was given to a later tester but there wasn't a WISC....one at 6 was some sort of IQ test that wasn't supposed to penalize for language skills (our county is full of English language learners) because he had a history of language delays...it scored at 106, which was a joke. The next was the RIAS given at age 11 and it just isn't thorough. He did better on that and qualified for the gifted program with it.
The third testing was outside the school at age 13 and was to confirm an older dx from when he was 8 of ASD. The WISC was just one part of the bigger picture so since prior testing was a bit all over the place we gave it to show more of a time line of what had transpired in the past. But state achievement scores from age 10 on always showed 98- 99%tile. 106 was never a valid score and I don't think it influenced the tester at all. The RIAS qualified him for gifted but I don't think it influenced her any more than just having a few conversations with him influenced her.
