You didn't mention how old your child is...I am guessing under 5yo. If that is the case, I had both of my children assessed under 5yo to qualify for a gifted school in my area. Neither child was given the full ranges of WJ achievement scores to compose a "broad cluster" score. Apparently, there are "fluency" issues for children under 5 and the tests are normed to at least 5 years of age. That being said, I have heard of folks getting the full WJ achievement testing completed with children under 5 so I guess it depends on the psychologist. HTH and Good luck!
