Hello everyone...
I'm a n00b here with some fresh WISC-IV & WIAT-II results. My DS11.6 had some summer time fun last week! If anyone has some insight into his results I would certainly appreciate your feedback.
Here is some background info:
He is a smart kid yet generally underachieves at most things. At times he acts like an adult and other times he acts like a 4 year old. He irritates his 8 year old sister and myself on a regular basis. He doesn't seem to understand that he has aggravated us. Sometimes he looks right at you when you speak to him yet he claims to have not heard a word you said. However, when he was younger he would read a book to himself while I read a 2nd book aloud. I would ask what I just read and he would repeat back the portion of the story I just read. In 3rd grade he would get in trouble with his teacher because he would hold a book under his desk and read while she was instructing the class. He didn't see the problem with reading because he still understood what she was saying. Yikes!!! He is happy with A's & B's and is not interested in accelerating or grade skipping. He is certainly capable but prefers to cruise. He has always been a spatial kid. When he was 2 years old I would dump a 30 piece puzzle of the USA face down and mix up the pieces. He would pick them up still face down and place them in the puzzle in the exact spot it belonged. This was a great parlor trick for visitors. And he is great to have around when assembling furniture that comes packed in a flat box. He likes art, especially sculpture. He loves reading and video games.
Some words that describe him. Smart, underachiever, odd, quiet, reader, forgetful, epicurean, sculptor, agitator, nocturnal.
We are hoping to help him with intrinsic motivation.
Anyway, here are the results. No GAI was given and I don't think extended norms were used:

While I have you captive, he did take the WISC-IV to get into his current school.
They only provided scaled scores for each subtest. No composites or raw scores and I can't get them.
WISC-IV
9 years, 2 months
Subtest Scaled Scores
Sim 17
Vocab 18
Comp 14
BD 19
PC 12
MR 18
DS 13
LNS 12
CD 11
SS 12
Comparing both sets of scaled scores highlight two things to me. His comprehension has really improved and he has a problem with picture concepts in relation to the other two perceptual reasoning subtests.
Thanks for taking your valuable time!
