[quote=Anonymous]My child was rejected from AAP with a 121 NNAT, 144 Cogat and strong GBRS (3C and 1F) with excellent teacher comments. He was in pool based on Cogat and I did not submit any work samples. School submitted ok work samples that was not my child’s best work. Packet I received included a math worksheet that had an error. Not sure if the AART just xeroxed extra worksheets for me or if this was actually included in the file for AAP consideration.

We had WISC done and my child scored 86th percentile overall. Some sections he was 95-98th percentile (Vocabulary, verbal, VCI) while he scored very poorly on fluid memory and processing speed (15-20th percentile). Psychologist comments were very positive. She wrote long commentary on his behavior and demeanor. I believe she thought we had WISC done for private school admission and not AAP.

Would you include this WISC for the appeal or do you think it would hurt my child?

I believe the WISC confirms the Cogat high score but also shows more of my child’s weaknesses. I was not present for the test but I suspect my child may not have understood the question or what psychologist was asking so he was slow to respond. This is just my guess.[/quote]
