[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our psychologist told us that Carol Horn herself of the AAP office does not like the GAI and feels that when it is calculated the tester is manipulating  the data for the appeal. They can tell by looking roughly what the GAI would be.[/quote]

Interesting.  There was some discussion during this year's AAPAC meetings about GAI as it is often used for twice-exceptional children. No one ever suggested that a "tester is manipulating the data" when evaluating twice-exceptional students.[/quote]

We must use the same tester.  Ours also said Carol Horn dislikes seeing the GAI reported.  Our DS got in with NNAT 130, CogAt 117, GBRS 12 (denied first round); WISC Full Scale 129 (unreported GAI 136).  His processing speed and working memory also pulled the full scale down.  They know this.  The Verbal and Perceptual scores mean more to the committee.  You are in good shape.[/quote]

That's odd because they recommend GMU and GMU DOES calculate the GAI.  My child had HUGE discrepancies.  His scores showed both FSIQ and GAI.  NNAT 117, Cogat composite 136 (perfect score in the nonverbal portion).  WISC scores were consistent in that non-verbal was 99th percentile, whereas verbal was lower and WM and Processing Speed were really low.  2nd grade DRA was 28 (is a HUGE reader now though).  Got in on appeal.  Getting A's and a few B's in AAP in 4th grade now.[/quote]
