[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] 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] So were you told by the tester that you should have your child tested for ADHD? We came away w/ very similar WISC results--very high in verbal comprehension & perceptual reasoning but significantly lower in memory & processing speed. We were told to have our child tested for ADHD b/c it was a classic profile of a child w/ ADHD. Our child also is not hyperactive and gets virtually all O's.[/quote]
