Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Identification, Testing & Assessment Low Working Memory / Written Language Scores

My daughter took the WISC-V and WIAT-III and the psychologist said that she suspects my daughter has some sort of learning disability because her working memory and written language scores are so much lower than everything else.

--------
WISC-V

Verbal Comprehension - Extremely High

NonVerbal - High Average

Fluid Reasoning - Very High

Working Memory - Average


----
WIAT-III

Reading - Extremely High

Math - Extremely High

Written Language - Average

Oral Language - Very High

Unfortunately I feel like this test has brought up more questions than answers. The psychologist said that we could bring our daughter back in to be tested for dysgraphia, but I�m wondering if these results really indicate a problem (since her scores are at least "average" in all areas). And if they do indicate a problem, should we pursue more thorough testing?

Some of the other posts have mentioned neuropsychological testing. Does that seem like it would be appropriate in this case? Where do we go from here?

Thank you for any insights!
