Hi all
I'm new to this board and also the testing process. I apologize in advance if this question has been asked, but I can't find the answer.
My daughter was just tested and determined to be twice-exceptional. The tester said that the GAI would be a much better indicator of her overall abilities than her FSIQ due to her lower working memory and processing speed scores. And also due to her emotional disorder which really affected her overall performance during the test (so much so the tester told us we should really ignore the FSIQ as it didn't even remotely indicate what she thought her FSIQ should be). However, the tester said since the subtest scores that would be used to determine the GAI only totaled 99 she would not be able to give us a GAI. She said those subtest scores would have to at least total 100. Has anyone else been told this? Would we be able to apply to DYS without a GAI? Our tester has encouraged us to apply as we desperately need some advocacy help. I'd appreciate any info. Thanks
