For appealers, are you/did you offer any explanation of ADHD?

We have a daughter with ADHD. She was not accepted first round into AAP. We got WISC and though VCI is 99%, PRI is lower and WMI/PSI are average, resulting in a mid-90s FSIQ. In the original parent-referral, we did not say anything about her ADHD, but now need to say something about it to explain the low WMI/PSI. If you are in a similar situation, what is/was your approach?

Whats the PRI? If it above 96%, I would appeal. My DC had PRI and VCI in the 98 amd 99% range, MW in the 85% range and PSI at 15%. 120 FSIQ, but much higher with out the PSI. Classic 2E kid. No add or adhd, just very methodical

Is it new information (as in a new diagnosis) or did you just opt to not include it?

If it is new information, I suggest contacting the AART at your school for some suggestions on how to best include the information in the appeal.
