I would appreciate any guidance on how to interpret 2 vastly different WISC-IV results. My son was tested at 9yrs 5months and denied eligibility for services based on following scores:
VCI 102
PRI 115
GAI 110
We really questioned the results but did not at time pursue retesting (we were told 'scores don't significantly change.')
Due to new teacher initiatives last spring, my son was retested this month and we were again cautioned that he probably would still "not meet criteria". Results at 12 years 8 months:
VCI 130
PRI 135
GAI 139
We were told the discrepancy was 'highly unusual.' He now qualifies.
What happened??? Why would there be SUCH a discrepancy? We feel so badly that we didn't know enough, or push enough, to have him retested as soon as possible. We feel it is our fault, and that he missed out at a crucial time. But we are also angry at the district...I suspect that the pyschologist who administered the test was at fault to some degree (perhaps too inexperienced, for she was a new grad and new to the district?)I'd appreciate thoughts on how to digest these findings. I just don't understand.
Many thanks.
