[quote=Anonymous][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]

The tester said that based on DC's report card (all g's and O's), DC was doing well in school and we should just wait and see what happens.

Does your child have ADHD, PP?  My understanding it that the "testing" is really in the form of questionnaires.  I wasn't sure about it and didn;t pursue it because it wasn't recommended.  Also, DH felt like we should leave DC "alone."  [/quote]
