I am new here so please forgive my lack of knowledge.
I have an 8yo 3rd grader.
I just got back test results.
He was tested at my request due to lots of boredom, fidgeting, lack of attention at school.
His results seem all over the place:
Wisc-iv
Sim:17
Vocab:17
Comp:10

Block:15
Picture:15
Matrix: 14

Didget Span:13
L-N Seq: 12

Coding:10
Symb S:10

Verbal Comp:128
Percep: 129
Working Memory:113
Processing Speed: 100
FS: 125

His achievement test scores were average/highaverage with the exception of Math Reasoning, Superior.
The only other testing he has done is the SCAT when he was in 2nd grade and he was 94%-ile verbal and 97%-tile math compared to 4th grade.
I have done very little formal instuction with him at home, so all his "book learning" is at school. I do know he is very mathmatical. Any time I have explained math to him, well beyond his level, he gets it immediately.
He is a fast learner and a fast worker. He hates the repetition of school. He is very mechanically inclined,does lots of "sciency" things at home, teaches me about electronics (and I am an engineer), and one of his teachers said he was an amazing problem solver. He has great spacial skills. He once drew out directions for folding a paper airplane that he had come up with in his mind, before ever folding the paper.
So the school psych. comments that his scores suggest a weakness when working with non-crystallized info, learning new concepts (WHAT?), and needing sustained attn. She suggests he needs to be eval. for ADHD and doesn't seem to think his scores suggest giftedness. she seemed kind of smug about it.
We have no gifted program of any kind at our small, city school.
I think these scores seem oddly scattered but have very little knowledge about IQ tests. I know she has very little knowledge in testing gifted students - she almost exclusively tests for LDs. They also don't seem to reflect my son as I know him. I have since learned about GAI which I think in his case would be 133.
Does anyone have any insight into this? Thanks in advance for any help.
