Thank you, both. When we first received the test results I looked up the subtests and what he actually was required to do. It seemed like the problems were all over the place- for example- block design vs. visual puzzles. What is different between them if he is picking blocks in both to copy the design given? Processing- what is the difference between searching for symbols and writing them? But then I realized, like you are saying, that in addition to the design of the test itself there are issues of whether he was required to respond verbally or in writing, and whether the test was timed or not timed. That's when I became discouraged. LOL. He came home today and told me he is far behind the class in "writer's workshop" and wasn't sure he would be able to catch up. He said when he is writing by the time he finishes the first part of a sentence he can't remember how he was going to finish. It sounds like we need to follow up with the fine-motor skills and memory-related tests.
