I am waiting to get my son evaluated by his school (they finally agreed to formally request the evaluation from the school board!). He has ADD and I am convinced he also has disylexia. He had the WISC IV test done and his perception reasoning was in the 94th percentile and working memory in 21 percentile. A remarkable gap! I know ADD/ADHD kids tend to have trouble with the working memory but I believe this gap is a lot bigger than that...(ebnough that the tester offered to speak to the school if she had to, to get him tested) does anyone know what kind of gap is usually for ADD and how much of a greater difference indicates further issues? Just wondering if there is a concensus on that. I want to be as informed as possible to force the school to help my son like he deserves.
