[QUOTE="pokerchipper, post: 5520, member: 3218"] Help me out -- I know I am supposed to know these things, but I don't. What subtests of the WISC or what other tests would be good indices of processing speed and working memory? Performance IQ subtests? As I recall (and I don't have it all in front of me) there was not much "scatter" -- not much difference between the subtests on the WISC. All pretty even. I do know a high IQ does not rule out a learning disability. I keep emphasizing her IQ to the school to mean that someone with an IQ of 125 is fully capable of learning math, and if she is not learning math the way they are teaching it she must have a specific learning disabiity that makes her not able to get it that way, so they need to accomodate her learning disabilty and come up with a different instructional technique that makes her get it. I am torn between just paying for her to go to Sylvan Learning Center or Kumon once or twice a week to get taught math there, vs. asking the school to pay for, or paying myself for, an evaluation ($1800) by a good private neuropsychologist. Not sure which I should do. Thanks for your response. I certainly remember you too, and appreciate all your excellent work on this site. [img]:warrior:[/img] [/QUOTE]
