Cogat131, Wisc 133

CoGat sub scores were spread from upper 120’s to lower 130’s. The WISC score for appeal was 145 with sub scores all in 99.9% with the exception of the processing speed sub score being around 30%. The WISC scores led to an eventual adhd diagnoses, an eventual 504, and immediate acceptance of our AAP appeal.

Cogat 135, WISC 128

Cogat 135, WISC FSIQ 139, new work samples, and information about ADHD which had been diagnosed, began treatment, and implemented a 504 between the initial application and appeal.

Examples of the work samples you submitted?

Appeal was due 6 weeks after we received notification last year. We got answer on appeal 1 month later (mid-June).

This was several years ago and I know the process has changed a bit but we included prior teacher recommendations, a 136 WISC score, parent letter, and multiple work samples.

They look at the full picture. Scores tell part of the story so yes, they do make a difference, as do iready, work samples, parent letter, etc.

Assuming this was a private school?

PP here. This was a public school. A high SES one.

NP. Why would you assume that?

We also submitted an appeal saying that the poor GBRS was inaccurate, that DC is actually good at X Y and Z with examples and submitted a WISC of 120.
