Thanks everyone. Val, that article is exactly what I need!
The weird argument we keep having is that they KNOW he knows the material. The teacher continues to argue that he needs to demonstrate it faster. She said on his last report cart "Has mastered multiplication, division and long division at any level, needs to pass timed tests."
We've had an OT eval and motor skills (both fine and gross) were determined to be average for his age.
The WISC scores- tested at age 6 years, 7 months- I've posted them before but here's a refresher:
VCI- 140
PRI- 139
WM- 141
PS- 109
FSIQ- 142
GAI- 148 (with a note from the ed.psych that if GAI only left out Processing Speed, his overall IQ would reflect even higher)
Since we're talking Processing speed- the subtests
Coding-9
Symbol Search- 14
Cancellation (given as a substitute due to higher symbol search)- 8
