    Hi
    The local Gifted Program requires WIATT III Scores to be within 96-98. My Son with ADHD just got his results in and there are many.
    Can anyone here tell me if he fits into the schools crieria?
    Thanks in advance.

    I can't see how he wouldn't meet the entry requirements if they are just looking for 96th percentile+. He was well above that point on everything but the timed pieces (fluency measures), which really are about how fast you can do things not how advanced you are.

    Do you know if they are looking for composite scores in the 96th+ or certain pieces or what? I suspect that he'd make any of those cuts because the high points were high enough that the composite scores should still be high even with the lower fluency measures.
