[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi, yes my son took the wisc iv in Sept 2013 (3rd grade), solely in preparation to apply to privates.  Beyond the cost of the test, we opted to pay for an extra hour of Dr Adler's time to review the results, and in particular we noted and questioned the disparities between processing speed and the other areas on the test (again, he had about 25th% in processing speed vs 95-99% on the other test areas).  Dr Adler acknowledged the disparity but said it is not uncommon and he did not indicate that he was troubled by it or that it required any further testing. So we did not think it was anything to investigate further. I can't see how going back to Dr Adler would help - he was nonplussed by my son's results.  Which in part is why I was surprised to see so many posters suggesting that I get my son "tested" (I'm still not certain what is meant by that - presumably more than another wisc test. a full neuropsych? someone mentioned auditory?). Thanks for helping walk me through this. [/quote]

15:03 again. While the WISC is not designed to find LDs or ADHD, an experienced clinician administered and interpreted it and it sounds like you were comfortable with the feedback. The PPs have listed some good possible school options, so I would start with those: St. Andrew's, Burke, Field, Bullis and possibly McLean. Good luck![/quote]
