[QUOTE="Steely, post: 407482, member: 3301"] IQ's are broken into verbal and non verbal. Non Verbal is performance, verbal is well, verbal oriented things. The discrepancy between the 2 IQs are what can classify a child as having a Learning Difference. Matt had a 20 point difference between verbal and performance, which means that his mind absorbed certain oral/verbal things at an astronomical rate, but if he had to put them on paper, of do it with his hands, he was more challenged. His combined score of verbal and nonverbal was still above average, which would put him as gifted, as you mentioned your difficult child is, but that does not matter when you are functioning in life. One Dr explained it to me like this - one part of your brain sees the Van Gogh painting in every ounce of detail it contains - but when the other part of your brain tries to duplicate it on paper, it can't. That sets up a HUGE frustration for these kids, because they can see it as a vision in their minds, but they can not perform it. [/QUOTE]
