[quote=Anonymous]There isn't a magic number- although a wide difference 15+ points between the reasoning and performance scores might be a red flag. A huge difference (I've heard of processing scores in the low average/borderline range and gifted reasoning scores) would obviously indicate a closer look. It depends on how your DD is affected- is she managing in the classroom, how does she perform on a timed test, does she struggle to maintain a concept directly after it's taught (working memory). Does she take a lot of time (too much) to start and/or finish work? A 30+ difference between reasoning and working memory strikes me as signficant-- there are sections in working memory--one is digit span forward and another is backward. My DS scored in the 99th percentile forward and 50th percentile backward. He has tremendous difficulty with shifting his attention and was diagnosed with ADHD. [/quote]
