Thanks for your input Dottie. This is very helpful. Particularly your suggestions on how to approach DYS.
I think you may be right that the psychologist who tested her was not looking at Tech Report 4. I should start by saying I made a typo above and her subtest scores total 98 not 99. She did get a 19 in Sim and the extended score is included in that total (it changed to 20 with extended scores). Her VCI is 138 and the PRI 137. The WM and PS were both 94. She had such huge discrepancies and displayed such emotional challenges that the tester believes it confirms her belief that she is twice-exceptional. We are going through further evaluations with occupational therapists and developmental optometrists to see if we can determine where the problems lie.
I'm hoping to get her in DYS as I need help with advocacy. Both her therapist and the psychologist who tested her think we should pull her out of the public school she is in and send her to a private gifted school. Unfortunately it is just not financially possible for us. I remain hopeful that we can get her the emotional and LD help that she needs from our district.
I'm having the tester write up a more detailed report that goes into her observations during testing as well as the results. I'll include that with the information I send to DYS as well.
Oh my, I just realized I am really rambling!! Sorry about that. Thanks again for all you thoughts and the links.
