[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]It doesn’t mean anything in the absence of actual challenges you are seeing. Could be a mistake, or could be correct but nbd. [/b]Everyone would have some quirks if we were all subjected to extensive testing. [/quote] This. Why was your child being tested? And was the test a WISC? Processing speed is measured on the WISC using two pencil and paper visual scanning tasks. Sometimes kids do poorly because they think and problem solve slowly. Sometimes they write/make marks slowly, or spend a lot of time erasing to make it perfect. Sometimes they don't go as quickly as they can because they are nervous. The scores can be helpful, but they are not a magical snapshot of your child's brain and abilities. You have to consider the context of the concerns you had or didn't have before testing. [/quote] + ask if a GAI score calculation is appropriate if using WISC and getting this result.[/quote]
