Thanks you so much for your responses! The subtest scores for PRI were:
12 (block design)
11 (picture concepts)
9 (matrix reasoning)
To further confuse me, he scored 112 overall on his first PRI test 2 years earlier and his matrix score was 15. He had some variations between the two IQ tests administered but they both equaled out to the exact same GIA and FSIQ. He's had his eyes checked and he doesn't have any problems. He's actually done pretty well in the spatial tests given by his OT (all the video gaming must count for something!).
It's really a mystery to me. The school psychologists did choose to use his VCI as the best measure of his intellectual ability. I guess this is part of my concern as to whether he truly is gifted and should take part in all of the programs available. He's been in gifted programs for 6 years but lately I wonder if his areas of weakness negate his strengths? He does well academically with grades and state testing despite his lack of motivation but it's a battle to get him to comply. I wish I knew if he was just avoiding work he doesn't like or if these areas of weakness are affecting him more than we realize?
Thank you everyone for taking the time to help and the links as well. They've all been very helpful to me!
