He may be above-average in ability, but be placed in a situation that even overcomes those 'above-average' skills. I wouldn't be so quick to jump to this conclusion when looking at the information you have presented. It seems that he has below-average ability to make friends. #104049 - 06/03/11 03:42 AM Re: interpret low digit span score on WISC IV We are also thinking of looking for a school where they may have special program for gifted children. Having read the forum for a few days now, would the discrepancy between VCI/PRI and WMI/PSD become some kind of "bottleneck"? It also seems making friends is not easy for some gifted children, right? As part of the WISC test, he also got scores on WIAT-II: Word Reading 117 and Math Reasoning 151. He basically reads a lot himself all the time and has a lot of math work from home. Other than this, he is doing well in school even though he says he learns little from school. The reason I did this private WISC testing is that my son does not have friends in school. But My son's handwriting is just average though. Thanks ukmum, I don't have specific concerns related to digit span right now. Otherwise finding academic peers amoung agemates can be tough. How are things going at school for your son? Does he have special educational needs due to his IQ strengths? There are a few school districts in the US where scores like your son's aren't unusual - a few. WMI and PSI are rather randomly distributed compared to VCI and PRI, which are felt to reflect intellectual strength.Īre you in the U.S.? If so I would apply to DYS program. But if you think you see an issue, tell us, and we'll help figure it out. I wouldn't worry about the Digit Span unless you are slapping your head and saying 'So that's why when I tell him to brush his teeth, change into pajamas, feed the dog, lay out clothing for the next day, read to his little brother, and go to bed, he always leaves one step out!' The reason I'm not so concerned is that the other WM scores are very high, and the Speed index is high as well. Did they tell you that your sons score is really unusually high? Also unsually well balanced for scores that high - even with the 'lowish' Digit Span.
