LOL, he's Mr. Visual-Spatial (he's also just turned 6, in K). The funny thing is that I found out about VSLs when we had dd tested two years ago. I had read Upside Down Brilliance through a couple of times, and several months had passed, before I realized that duh, ds is a VSL too, only much moreso. His strengths and weaknesses seem more extreme than dd's.
DS isn't one to skip words just yet; he's kind of anal about pronouncing them all correctly (he's at grade level for reading, finally, and still in the thick of speech therapy). But dd (almost 8) on the other hand, not only skips words but occasionally fills in a word with some other similar word - she doesn't take the time to look closely. And yet she's now doing relatively well with reading, compared to before she had done vision therapy. Though I'm not sure if she's yet achieving at a level commensurate with her supposed ability - it's so hard to tell. I'm dying to re-test her privately as well but I don't have an excuse to spend that much at the moment.
thanks for the link - I was wondering where they put that one; it seems they rearranged the front page of that website a little bit.
