[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had a WISC for DD - grade 2 done this fall with GMU

Scores:
FSIQ: 115
Verbal Comprehension Index: 113
Visual Spatial Index: 114
Fluid Reasoning Index: 115
Working Memory Index:130
Processing Speed: 98

NNAT: 138
COGAT: We do not know but AART pulled her into differentiated math based on COGAT quantitative score

Should I include or not include WISC? I already asked the AART and she refuses to provide advice on whether to include these.

What would u do for your DS/DD if you were me??[/quote]

What’s with your AART refusing to advise???
Doesn’t seem like someone who is very invested in your child being placed into the program, and that would make me wonder why.
Do you have a strained relationship with your school’s AART? Is she irritated by your child or by you?
Our AART many years ago was happy to offer her advice  (when asked) to any parent. She would be very honest about her take though. Like she would have said “those are great!—submit and see what happens!” Or “those scores might be borderline, so it’s hard to say. I’ll leave that up to you.” Or “i don’t think those scores are going to move the needle on appeal, so stick to additional work samples.”
I can’t see the AART just refusing to weigh in at all. Doesn’t seem helpful and I’d have to question why that’s her stance. Maybe she was told not to. Maybe she got burned by a prior parent when she told them to submit scores and the kid didn’t get in and parent was mad at her advice. [/quote]

AARTs are not supposed to give advice, that is FCPS policy. Some AARTs ignore said policy but some schools are very clear that the AART and Teachers will not discuss LIV applications in anyway. That was our schools policy. Teachers would not discuss if their thoughts and the AART would not comment on anything application related. [/quote]

Do you have a link to that policy? Google is not helping me. [/quote]
