Hi aeh,
I have the full report now. Her Verbal Fluid Reasoning was 17/ 99th% (non verbal FR was 19/99.9th). Verbal Knowledge was 18/99.6th%. So it looks like overall her Verbal IQ was a lot higher vs the WPPSI?

The psych made a comment that she appeared to him to have a very strong visual spatial processing style in the way she answered questions and that typical of VS children - she needed time to think and answer the questions. So I’m wondering if maybe it was the WPPSI was more heavily timed and possibly the personality of the initial psych rushing through more quickly? I noticed the personality of the new psych, he was a deep thinker and took his time getting to know my children (in front of me) prior to the testing done in a separate room.. asking about their interests/ideas etc. The previous psych did nothing like this.
Thank you for the invaluable advice here.. and the insights from both you and SallyMom - it’s much appreciated to hear from those that have been through this.
