[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 534345, member: 11791"] OK, just remember... I'm "just" a parent too. But had to figure some of this out because of difficult child. 1) VCI 114 82% PRI 117 87% WMI 102 55% PSI 83 13% FSIQ 108 70% No MAJOR spreads here, but processing speed is a weakness. That doesn't qualify her for much, except maybe some accommodations. Here, that would be another factor in her receiving "standard ADHD accommodations", such as taking tests in a separate room (less distraction) and specifically [I]untimed[/I], which also helps with a processing speed weakness. Then, on another page titled Table of Scores Cluster/Test GE (Grade Equiviancy?)ing 2) Grade Equivalency... they "usually" don't consider the results to qualify them for anything extra, unless they are at least two grade levels lower than where the student is at. She's in grade 8. Technically, as these were done in Dec, she was at 7.5... Brief Achievement 10.5 Total Achievement 8.6 Broad Reading 10.7 Broad Math 6.7 - slight weakness Broad Written Languate 8.2 Brief Reading 13.0 - obviously, reading is a strength Basic reading skills 13.0 Reading Comp 13.0 Brief Math 8.4 Math calc skills 5.9 - weakness, but still within 2 grade levels Brief writing 7.9 Basic writing skills 10.6 Written expression 7.7 Academic skills 10.8 Academic Fluency 6.3 - weakness Academic apps 9.0 Letter-word identification 13.0 Reading Fluency 6.7 - strange, when the other reading ones are strong... unless it ties to processing speed. Calculation 8.3 Math fluency 2.8 - *** significant difference *** Spelling 9.3 Writing fluency 8.8 Passage comprehension 15.3 Applied problems 8.4 Writing Samples 6.2 Word attack 10.0 Editing 12.8 Reading vocabulary 11.2 Obviously, Math is a problem. But it's an "uneven" problem... from a weakness, to a disability. Most schools would not qualify that for Special Education. Probably not needed. Sometimes, they will "stream" the kids - esp. for math - so that there is one smaller class with the kids who are weakest in math, with a shared aide as well, so that they can get these kids up to speed. Doesn't look severe enough to qualify for dyscalcula. But... with her processing speed on top of it all, I wonder what other accommodations are out there that might help. For example... being allowed to use the calculator for all basic math facts (i.e. no mental math). Maybe, because reading is a strength, she could have access to more completed examples with details explained, so she can "self-teach". Be aware that results that are more than 4 years old, are not considered "current". They are "background info" but won't drive accommodations and interventions.
