[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for your response. This AAP selection process is such a big deal! [b]Hard to understand what the committee is looking for :( [/b]. I know many kids who didn't meet the cut-offs in either of the tests but still found eligible by central committee due to their high GBRS. I personally feel GBRS-11(3-3s and 1- 2) is the main issue is my child's case.Yes, I did submit work samples and parent questionnaire in the previous packet. For the appeal, I submitted the WISC scores : FISQ : 129 and GAI : 136 and some more work samples and recommendation and a letter expressing my concern and interest for my daughter. I hope the committee understands that the child scores consistently in all the aptitude tests. I personally feel a tool or a computer is very effective in assessing a child's potential through testing rather an individual assessing a child...because of difference in understanding and perception.[/quote]

Actually, they do tell you what they look for. They consider the "whole child" in reviewing the packets. 
My DS also had very low processing speed on the WISC. The psychologist commented on the report that he was inefficient with answering the paper and pencil test- which could have pulled down his processing speed score. She also recommended we get him tested for ADHD but I know for sure that he doesn't have ADHD. I know that because my other kid ADHD and I know what it looks like beyond a test score.

This time last year, I was also anxiously awaiting results. Wishing you the best with the committee's decision. I have seen plenty here at DCUM with similar scores to your child that have been found eligible.

My DS is in AAP and the low processing speed has not mattered at all. He's had a stellar year and the teacher said "he likes to have his thinking time."
