a very verbal, pencil-resistant, kid
I have one of those, LOL! Just to make you feel better about the writing, my DS took the WIAT/WISC combo at 6 and refused to write ANYTHING! Finally, he agreed to simply write down the first letter of words. (We had told him we were going to the psych to find out how we could make school better for him. Once he found out that the testing was "school," it was all over...). In any event, his failure to write still gave us a good picture of his academic needs and did not inhibit his scores in other areas. He also pretty much refused to read or do much math, but he had no problem talking, LOL. So just go with what you have and don't worry about it. If you're interested in DYS, the minimums only have to be met in any one academic area. If it's verbal only, you might have to supplement, but that doesn't necessarily preclude acceptance.
