[quote=Anonymous]New poster here, I've been following this thread with interest.  To follow up on OP's point about getting full IQ results, does anyone know what an "expected" WISC score breakdown would look like for a child who is in AAP but has ADD or ADHD?  We had a WISC done for our DD because, despite high NNAT and CogAT scores, she's struggling to keep up in AAP.  Even in Gen. Ed. she was slow on classwork and sometimes seems to space out.

I would have expected higher verbal and nonverbal scores, and lower working memory and/or processing scores on the WISC.  However, DD's scores were consistently in the high to low 120s across the board (verbal and nonverbal being the highest).  The scores apparently indicate that she's appropriately placed in AAP (at least on paper) but shed no light on why she's struggling.  We're going to do a full neuropsych and educational eval to get more information, but unfortunately our appointment isn't until December.  It would be great to get any thoughts on this in the meantime.  TIA [/quote]
