My son (age 6.5 yrs) recently took the WISC IV. He had the following scores:
FSIQ = 131 (98th percentile)
VCI = 124 (95th percentile)
PRI = 135 (99th percentile)
WMI = 132 (98th percentile)
PSI = 103 (58th percentile)
The above scores suggest he has a significant discrepancy between processing speed (PSI) and cognitive ability. However, it is not clear to me whether this will be recognized as a significant discrepancy by our school district and qualify him for additional supports on his IEP (his only area of qualification now is Social/Emotional).
We know that although he has 20/20 visual acuity, he has significant deficits in binocular vision and visual tracking. His OT has described him as having difficulty with "motor-planning"; fine and gross motor skills are age appropriate. His handwriting skill and ability to write stories are relatively weak. He is currently being treated for anxiety. The psychologist who administered the test (along with several other tests and assessments) diagnosed him with Anxiety Disorder NOS. He did not fit neatly into either Asperger's or ADHD diagnoses, although he has some "traits" of each.
Any input on interpretation of the WISC IV scores would be appreciated.
