My 10 yr old son was tested on the WISC IV 2 years ago (8 yrs old) with the following scores.
FSIQ 118
VCI 116
PRI 115
WMI 129
PSI 91. subtests coding 7, symbol 10 and cancellation 14
Recently tested WISC-V
FSIQ 110
VC 113
WM 115
Fluid Reasoning 123
Visual Spatial 97
Processing 83. Subtest coding 6, symbol 8
I would really like any feedback regarding the differences. There is definitely an issue with Processing Speed although neither of the evaluators were overly concerned about it. My son seems to read and complete classroom activities at a slower rate than his peers, according to his teacher. However he has no difficulty completing tests on time, usually in the middle of the pack. He also seems to get distracted when he has to perform activities like reading by himself or multi step math word problems at school. He is currently taking above grade level math (placed in a grade above math based on achievement) He is reading at grade level (interestingly enough he was above grade level last year but we had just transitioned from private school...maybe that had something to do with it???) and has aced all tests so far this year in Social Studies and Science. His writing, on the other hand needs work. He needs to improve sentence structure...ordering his thoughts and editing his work. I really want to help my son realize his fullest potential by finding suport for the weakenesses(processing speed) and capitalize on his strengths which appears to be Fluid Reasoning(whatever that is) from the WISC V results. Im thinking about some sort ,of brain training to address Processing speed. Any thoughts would be helpful.
