[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Need advice. I just got my son'sWISC score:

FSIQ - 130
VCI - 126
PRI - 135
WMI - 123
PSI - 106

Is this a good score for making an appeal? His NNAT is 143, CogAt is 129, GBRS is 6.

GMU didn't give us the GAI report. Should we request for that? Some pprevious posts said GAI score might be higher because it doesn't include WMI and PSI. Which one will FCPS accept, FSIQ or GAI? Any experience? Thanks![/quote]

I think they don't look at GAI unless there is a point discrepency of more than a certain number of points (23?), so if your DC doesn't have that discrepancy, they don't calculate it and they use the FSIQ.  I have a child with the discrepancy, so the FSIQ is low, but the GAI is bettter.  When I mentioned that the the AART, she raised her eyebrows, so I think that's not a good thing.  I think you are better off.  My DC had a very large discrepancy (although DC has not beein diagnosed with ADHD or any LD -- I suppose possibly DC has ADHD inattentive type, but no one has ever raised it and DC gets Os and Gs in school).  I have a feeling that the discrepancy will keep DC out of the Center.[/quote]
