Does anyone know which subtests make up the "Total Reading" that DYS wants to see on the WIAT III?
My son (14 yrs. 0mos) just finished an LD assessment that confirmed very high verbal reasoning abilities and reading achievement (as well as significant deficits elsewhere), but I don't think they administered enough of the WIAT III subtests for us to use the scores for the achievement portion of the DYS application. I didn't see a score for a WIAT III "Total Reading" listed in the report.
The subtest scores from the report were:
Reading Comprehension 153
Mathematics Composite 89
Sentence Composition 85
Essay Composition 76
Oral Reading Fluency 97
Oral Reading Accuracy 87
Oral Reading Rate 98
Mathematics Fluency 68
Reading Comprehension/Fluency 129
I don't know how DYS feels about kids with High IQ and LD's, so I don't know if I am wasting my time even contemplating applying, but I'd still like to know which subtests they require.
The only other real achievement testing we have is the ACT that he took in 7th grade without any accommodations for his LDs, and those scores don't qualify him - 31 Reading, 23 Science, 12 Math, 21 English, and 22 composite.
