[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP of the rising 7th grader. He's Neurotypical aside from ADHD and the processing issue. Very active in sports and has friends. He's just super smart and he does have issues that stem from that. His teachers don't know how to teach him and he gets bored. That said he loves school and wants to do well AND be in an environment where people get him.

What percentile is a processing speed of 73?  If he does not have any other issues than that, I'll just put in at a regular private school with smaller class size and not too much homework like Field.[/quote]

[b]If processing speed percentiles are like IQ, then it would be in the 3rd-4th percentile.  [/quo[/b]te]

Not quite sure what is being said here but the I.Q. points and processing speeds should be reported by tester back to the parent on the standard bell curve.  For some 2e kids like mine, their I.Q. will be two to three standard deviations above norm (norm = 100; I.Q. = 150) but their processing speeds can be two standard deviations below (but still one standard deviation above norm). Or their I.Q. may be one standard deviation above normal (@ 120) but processing speeds at 70.   It is that struggle between what is in the brain and the difficulty of expressing it that ties these kids in knots.  That's the difficulty most of us parents are trying to express here.
