    No, his GAI was not above the cut off. I didn't even want to send those scores but they were all in the same report.

    Was his GAI above the cut-off level?

    I'm just curious - I thought they would consider GAI in place of Full Scale IQ.

    I'm sorry you got bad news. Your son sounds very bright. I looked back at your previous posts and it looks as though his WISC scores may have been affected by 2e issues. Perhaps you will have a chance to retest at some point.

    bronalex, I'm sorry to hear it. I've found a lot of great resources already through the Davidson website- articles and book suggestions. Hopefully some of that will be helpful in advocating for your son.
