Do you think there's a problem?
Honestly, something just feels off to me especially since dd herself tells me that she thinks that she'd like reading more if wasn't so hard.
My biggest worry is that his GTness will mask the LDs, and they won't have enough experience with 2E kids to spot the problem.
That's kind of where I'm at with dd9, too. The psychologist who tested her last year wrote into her report that there was no way that she had a LD or anything else like ADHD. However, part of her ruling out things like ADHD were due to dd's teacher who filled out the BASQ indicating that she exhibited no issues at school. The teacher didn't get dd at all, though, and also indicated on her paperwork, according to the psych, that dd was "nothing special." That wasn't written into the report, just conveyed to us verbally.
The psychologist really had a lot more experience with LDs than giftedness and I felt that the report was written in such a way as to make us out to be parents who were stressing our kid out wanting her to be bright. I've really tried to avoid stressing dd, but her performance is so erratic and I strongly get the impression from dd that she is frustrated herself and putting on an air of not caring in order to not let on that she can't do some things. Dd seems to question her own abilities and feel like she isn't gifted.
We did the second testing to find out if the first IQ test was way off and if we should be trying to find a way to help her cope with being much less able than her sister, if that was the case, or to figure out if something was standing in her way otherwise. I can't say that it really answered any questions for us, though.
