I am a first time poster hoping for some input. We recently had our 6yoDS tested. He is in first grade and very bored in school. Seeing the repetitive nature of the work he brings home, I am not surprised by his boredom. He took the WISC IV with the following results:
Verbal Comprehension - 144
Perceptual Reasoning - 137
Working Memory - 110
Processing Speed - 73
FSIQ - 126
GAI - 150
As you can you see his scores are all over the place. He does not exhibit any signs of LD. The psych who administered the test seemed to think that by offering him a more challenging curriculum, he will overcome his impulsivity and learn to concentrate more. He did not think that DS has ADD, but now I am wondering.
DS is very well adjusted socially, is a natural leader within the group, but won't be the person to gather the group. He is loving and has many interests outside of school. He plays sports, loves music and rides his bike whenever he can.
As I have read the postings on this board, I see that many people here have a tremendous amount of knowledge. I am hoping you can throw some of that my way and offer some thoughts.
Thanks,
