[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here with 133 WISC.  That was in original file, so now we have to appeal.  What do we appeal with?

Looking at Stanford or Woodcock but not sure about the difference, and what DC has better chance on.  Does Diana Dalhren also give advice on what is better to do?  Have not called her yet.

I've been to Dr. Dahlgren for both of my kids (both in AAP now). Call her today, and she will tell you what to do.  I would bet money that she advises both the SB (an "expanded" IQ test that can assess profoundly gifted kids (who would "hit the ceiling" of 19 on the individual subparts of the WISC) and also does not factor in working memory or processing speed (two of the four parts of WISC, which often pull down the Full Scale IQ) and the Woodcock (which is an ability test, it will show, for example, if your child is working a certain number of years ahead; for example when my child was in 2nd grade, based on the Woodcock, Dr. Dahlgren could state in the report that DC's reading skills fell at the end of the 6th grade level, and math skills fell at the middle of the 4th grade level -- very persuasive on appeal).  I've also heard that the committee looks for two or more subtests within VCI or PRI that are 17 or above.[/quote]
