[quote=Anonymous]Hello.  You might want to look at the article that was cited above.  Lots of kids with VCI/PRI scores in the gifted range have average WMI/PSI scores (that is a typical gifted profile).  So, standing alone, a gap between these two sets of scores does not necessarily suggest an LD.  My DS, who does have some LD issues, has a very typical gifted profile (with a 26 point gap between VCI/PRI scores and PSI score).  What is really telling regarding the LD issue is whether there is a huge gap between IQ (measured by the WISC) and acheivement (can be measured by Woodcock-Johnson).  For example, my son has a gifted IQ (98%) but performs at age-level (50%).  That gap is suggestive of his LDs.  FYI, his psychologist strongly suggested that we go through the IEP process this summer, whether he gets into the center or not, because as the work gets harder, he will need accomodations to reach his full potential (a child with a 98% IQ should be acheiving well above grade level).  Hope this helps.  I highly recommend a full evaluation by a psychologist (someone with experience in twice exceptionality) to help your child succeed.  Best of luck to everyone waiting for the letter![/quote]
