Oh - working memory does tap into auditory skills. But, just because WMI and PSI are in tact doesn't mean she doesn't have some deficits in other areas. They need to look at the evaluation as a whole. Not just one or two tests. In fact, IDEA says that decisions CANNOT be made on a single test. Evaluations should include tests using multiple instruments, work samples, teacher input, observation etc.
While it is somewhat unusual for a child to have a reading disability and not have a weakness in either WMI or PSI, it does not prove they don't have a disability. In fact, weaknesses in these areas while a red flag for LD do not guarantee LD.
Would the neuropsychologist be able to join you for the meeting? Have you ever worked with an advocate. It might be helpful to have someone familiar with the tests to join you, so that are less able to twist the data to suit their needs.
It can be pretty overwhelming to do it your self. The meetings move fast and are emotional. Often an outsider can help insure that your child's needs stay front and center.
