We just recently had our 7-1/2 year old daughter tested due to suspected LD. Her school performance in math and writing has always been an issue. She also has difficulty with a slow work output. Her NNAT score, 107 and her bombing the COGNAT also didn't match up with what we saw at home. Our oldest is a DYS, and our middle child is also identified as gifted.
Testing was as follows:
WISC-IV
VCI 130
Similarities 18
Vocabulary 15
Comprehension 12
(Information) 16
PRI 129
Block Design 12
Picture Concepts 17
Matrix Reasoning 15
(Picture Completion) 15
WMI 83
Digit Span 7
Letter-Number Sequencing 7
PSI 85
Coding 8
Symbol Search 7
FSIQ 114
GAI 135
She was diagnosed ADHD inattentive moderate (although tester recommended further screening to rule out CAPD. Dysgraphia and Dyscalculia.
My question is for those with children of similar profiles. Are your kids successful in a gifted classroom? What has been the ideal educational setting and accomodations for your child?
For anyone who child has Dyscalculia....where did you begin in terms of helping your child? This one in particular is overwhelming for me.
Thanks for any assistance or thoughts!
