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!
Sunshiny,
I would apply with those IQ scores if you have achievement scores that are at qualifying level. YSP doesn't require good fine motor skill, but there isn't anthing like a GAI (general abilities index) for WPPSI as there is for WISC. GAI takes Verbal and Performance IQ together, and IF WPPSI had such a score, you son's would undoubtably be over the 150 mark.
Obviously I can't guarantee that YSP will see it that way, but with supporting Achievement Data, I think your kid is a shoe in. (Dottie has more experience with actual numbers, so if she disagrees then I back down.) The whole point is to find kids who 'test so high that the tests can't really measure it' and that's what I see when I look at your son's test scores.
Do you have achievement test scores?
Smiles,
Grinity
