[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Part of the testing for dyslexia involves IQ testing too.  So, it would part of the dyslexia testing.  My DC has dyslexia, dysgraphia and ADHD- rather profound on all three based on the testing- he also hits the ceiling of the WISC on the subtests relating to critical thinking, math, background knowledge and vocabulary- is close to the floor on other subtests.  It takes a skilled tester to tease it out and know what follow on tests to do.  He is counted as 2E in the FCPS stats.  [/quote]

Not the OP, but if I may, a Q for the above poster (20:17) -- did you find a neuropsychologist who you felt was particularly good at this?  Our DS is GTLD w/ diagnosed dyslexia and dysgraphia per a WPPSI and subsets of academic testing (99% FSIQ; 5% on various pre-academic measures).  They suspected ADHD, but told us to wait until age 6 for a full neuropsych and ADHD evaluation.  He is now 6 and we are preparing to schedule full testing.  Would appreciate your (or any) recommendations for testers who are good at teasing out these issues in kids with this profile. TIA.[/quote]

Not 20:17, but I really like the work of Daisy Pascualvaca at Pascualvaca and Associates.

I also think that neuropsych results are more stable at 7, so I'd wait one more year.[/quote]
