If she can read grade level words and books, then she’s fine. Same with math word problems. They need to be very short, no more than 2 sentences. I am glad to know she enjoys her audio books.

I’d be sure that is what she needs before you put her through it so that it doesn’t make her hate reading even more.

It always amazes me how a very high percentage of DCUM kids are 98-99th percentile. Seems pretty unlikely.
I wonder if some people are citing subset scores rather than full iq.
My child is average iq but above 95th percentile in verbal reasoning ans under the 20 percentile in fluid reasoning. That discrepancy itself is indicative in part of my child being neural atypical.
