[quote=Anonymous]OP here:

This is what the evaluation overview says: on the WPPSI-IV she had a Verbal Comprehension Index of 102 (mean of 100, SD of 5), a Visual Spatial Index of 91, a Fluid Reasoning Index of 109, a Working Memory of 90, a Processing Speed Index of 106, and a FSIQ of 101. She is having more difficulty than expected picking up her early academic skills, indicating emerging learning disabilities.

Her scales scores on the WPPSI-IV subtests: (mean of 10, SD of 3)
Verbal Comprehension
Information: 11
Similarities: 10
Comprehension: 10

Working Memory:
Picture Memory: 11
Zoo Locations: 6

Visual-Spatial:
Block Design: 6
Object Assembly: 11

Fluid Reasoning:
Matrix Reasoning: 12
Picture Concepts: 11

Processing Speed:
Bug Search: 11
Cancellation: 11

Her NEPSY-II Word Generation Semantic Fluency scaled score was 7 with the standard score equivalent of 85; her NEPSY-II Sentence Repetition was a standard score equivalent of 100 (scaled score of 10) and NEPSY-II Narrative Memory (standard score equivalent of 115, scaled score of 13)

On the Beery-VMI (visual motor integration) she got a standard score of 92

The Woodcock-Johnson-III Letter-Word Identification and Spelling she received a Standard Score of 83 on each

On the School Readiness Composite of the Bracken Basic Concept Scale, Expressive, she received a standard score of 76 (this is the 3 year, 3 month level that I referred to above).

I guess I could keep going but the whole thing depresses me and I've already given out most of the scores. I was shocked that she received an average score on some things related to the Educational Assessment piece (Brigance Inventory of Early Development II). For example, she was supposed to identify survival sight words. She only got Stop and Go right because she recognized the stop sign and then said the opposite of stop for the other sign. Every other sign on the darn page she would randomly say was stop and go because she got the first ones right. She labeled one out of 7 lowercase letters, identified 2 more when they were labeled for her, and gave the letter sound for one letter. For that she was seemed a quotient of 92 with an age equivalent of 4 years 10 months (she is 5 years, 2 months now). With results like these in real school, she will receive an F or whatever the new grade is for F.

Child Find has the KKI report and I have requested the preschool to attend the meeting with me. Based on what a PP said, I think this is the IEP Evaluation meeting where they present their findings. I love the idea of the Extended School Year. I would hate to fight to get services for 2 months and then have her forget everything by August.
