FWIW, we found the WISC valuable in it's own right, independent of AAP consideration. For example, both our kids have near identical GAI overall scores, but one has >150 processing speed, the other ~110. This insight (along with observations and conversations with our kids) has helped us better understand the "why" behind some of our kids' strengths and challenges... for DC1 understanding how frustrating it is for them to slow down on easy work (and why they sometimes make simple mistakes), and working on better strategies for them than simply repeatedly telling them "slow down" or "take your time". For DC2 it was realizing that when they need more time with their homework or the same material as DC1, it's not because of lack of focus (which is how it previously came across to us sometimes) or because they're less smart, but more often they are just thinking through it a bit more deeply on the first pass. The subscores themselves aren't prescriptive, but they certainly helped point us in the right direction in terms of what to look for in better understanding our kids, their thinking/learning styles, and how to best support them for growth.

Agree it's not cheap though... $425. https://cews.cehd.gmu.edu/cognitive-assessment-program/individual-assessment/[/quote]
