[quote=Anonymous]My dyslexic kid has an IQ of about 120, so a smart kid. But the subtests tell the story - the kid is either in the 95th percentile for a skill or the 5th percentile, nothing in between. He has needed and continues to need remediation to keep him near grade level because there always seems to be something that trips him up. It used to be simply reading, but now he's a pretty good reader but his working memory deficit (goes along with dyslexia) is causing problems in math. Even though he is 2E, he could never function in a gifted program. What we do is make sure he has every opportunity to shine in things he loves - science fair, cardboard challenge, chess, art. So yes, I'd get a full nueropsych - the full testing helped us help our dyslexic kid.[/quote]
