Hello! This is my first venture into this forum.
My daughter's IQ was recently assessed using the WISC-IV and I don't really know what to make of the results.
Her WISC-IV results are as follows:
Verbal Comprehension: 140
Perceptual reasoning: 141
Working Memory: 88
Processing speed: 109
FSIQ: 130
GAI: 150
I have all the subtest results as well. Basically, the way I understand it is that she is a very bright girl but her low working memory (her digit span score was 7) may pose a challenge in meeting her educational needs.
Does this big "split" have larger implications that I should investigate (learning disability?). Should I advocate to get her into the gifted program at her school? I've broached the subject and recieved a lukewarm response... a stark contrast from the enthusiasm of the psychologist who did the test. I'm afraid I am now very confused as to what I should be doing for her.
Thanks!
