My son took the WPPSI III when he was 4.5. He has always been bright, seems to have a photographic memory, has been reading since 2, etc. Here are his scores. Note that he couldn't complete the coding section (and therefore doesn't get a full score) because he has weak fine motor skills (I guess this is common in gifted kids!) and is currently getting OT for it. Here are his scores:
Verbal IQ - 147 (99.9%) info - 17, vocab-18, word reasoning-18
Performance IQ - 144 (99.8%) block - 18, matrix- 15, picture concepts - 18
Processing Speed - symbol search - 15
Global Language Skills - receptive vocab - 13, picture naming - 19+
I know he doesn't meet the requirements for the program with these scores, however, once his fine motor skills are better, is it worth taking the WISC to see where we are again, or is he not likely to meet the requirements? I was just wondering your thoughts before I think about our next step. Thank you so much for your help! These boards are so great- it's so hard to find information on gifted kids!
