[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They did a ton of tests -  but not the TOVA from what I can tell.

Clinical Evaluation of Language Fundamentals-5 (CELF-5) Gray Oral Reading Test-5 (GORT-5)
Rorschach Inkblot Test
Test of Written Language (TOWL)
Thematic Apperception Test (TAT)
Wechsler Individual Achievement Test-III (WIAT-III)
Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-V (WISC-V)
Wide Range Assessment of Memory and Learning -2 (WRAML-2) Wide Range Assessment of Visual Motor Abilities (WRAVMA) Woodcock Johnson Tests of Academic Achievement-III (WJ-III)

Her working memory was 95%ile
Her processing speed was 50%ile

She scored lowest by far in coding, at 16%ile (which still
Put her at low average), but 84% in the symbol search, the other component of the processing speed, so the much lower score brought it down overall.  Her fluid reasoning was in the mid-80 percentiles.

Her academic skills were all assessed at or above grade level, especially reading comprehension (12th grade) and vocabulary (8th). Her math was more uneven - she tested at grade level for the easier stuff which she rushed and made small errors, but almost 6th grade for harder problem solving.

The biggest issue seems to be her attention, it causes her to absorb knowledge unevenly and have problems with remembering. Is this the type of thing that is possible to learn or are we absolutely looking at medication here, at least eventually? z

[/quote]. None of those, at least in my experience with my child, were used to diagnose ADHD.  In my DC’s case, they were used to determine his IQ and LDs. Except for TAT, DC never had that. The Connrs and TOVA were the tests used for my DC.[/quote]

Not an expert but I recognize a chunk of those tests as geared towards a dyslexia or language processing evaluation.  CELF, GORT, and TOWL specifically.
