I posted last year about DS13's questionable results and aeh helped me out a great deal on the direction I needed to go. Here is a link to the original thread for the back story:

I finally received a copy of the results from his latest round of testing completed October 2014. I am hopeful you guys can help explain any discrepancies you may see or if the plan the school wishes to follow is good to go. Just for clarification my DS9 is my gifted child. My DS13, while very bright, is not gifted but he does have a lot of difficulty in the classroom.

Professional Judgement:
XX's SS of 82 on the Written Expressions scale from the KTEA II was one standard deviation lower than his lowest cluster SS earned on any of the five academic domains assessed by the WJIII Ach., Form A. This reality, in concert with his relatively low SS earned on the WJIII Cog scales of Visual Matching (86) and Decision Speed (88) supported the existence of a functional but particular learning disability that merits specially designed instruction.

So, if anyone can help me make sense of this before our IEP meeting next Monday that would be amazing. He qualified for an IEP based on a Specific Learning Disability for writing.
