[quote=Appleton]Did the psychologist give you the numbers for the WJ test? I think superior is 120-129, very superior is 130+ and above average is 110 plus, so maybe the difference isn't that huge. [
The WJ numbers are as follows:
Broad Reading Skills - 131
Basic Reading Skills - 127
Reading Comprehension - 129
Math Comprehension Skills - 110
Mathematics Reasonsing - 134
Academic Fluency - 124
These numbers were from the private psychologist, not the school psychologist. I have requested all of the test scores from the school psychologist, but do not have them yet.
Does it make a difference in WJ if the child has a slower processing speed? DS definitely does.
Those results are for the WJ achievement not cognitive.
That's the point. The private psychologist did WJ tests of achievement and the WISC IV. The school psychologist did some form of the WJ Cognitive Abililities. The school psych test scored a lot lower than the WISC IV.
My kids took about 90 minutes to 2 hours to do the WJiii cognitive but it wouldn't take as long if they stopped at questions that gave a score of 114. Can you get the scores sheet so you can check the WM and PS results?
I have requested the full scores from the school psychologist. I only received the one score of 114 in a VERY short phone call from the principal. My cell phone was about to die and I asked him to call me back on my work phone, he said his call would just take a minute and dropped his little bombshell that DS score did not make him eligible for acceleration. :-(
