Hello,
Thanks to all for these helpful comments. I'm interested to see that a couple of you have kids with similar WISC IV results. Are they having social or academic issues that you think are caused by this kind of asymmetric profile?
My son has difficulties with organization and has trouble remembering multistep verbal instructions (go upstairs, put on your pyjamas, brush your teeth and wash your face). He is also slow to react, and there is usually a pause (sometimes a very long one) before he answers a question. This is not an issue once he is engaged in a conversation that interests him.
He has become very disengaged at school this year (grade 4), is showing a lot of oppositional behavior, is refusing to do required work and thinks that he is "dumb". His handwriting is not so bad, and he can produce very neat work when he takes his time (not often these days). He hates practicing anything that he can't master right away. These are the reasons that I had the testing done.
Do your children with high VCI and relatively low PSI show traits like this?
Jenny72, what type of OT did your son do? Was it someone who specialized in sensory processing? Did he work on fine motor skills as well as "rolling down hills" etc?
Thanks for any suggestions.
