My 9 year old son has just finished testing and i’m not sure where to go from here.He will be staying in his regular grade 3 class with an IEP but no extra assistance.
Test scores-p-113, v-83, fs-98
academically-achieving at or slightly below grade level
problems with fine motor, visual motor integration, visual perception skills
also-significant auditoy processing defecits in all subtests
displays mild adhd(but not sure if this may be a result of cap)
what i don’t understand is they say, as a result of the wisc, that his strength is to learn auditorally but then he has weak auditory processing skills.
this seems like a real dilemma to me.any suggestiopns that i can pass on to his teachers or work on myself at home, would be most appreciated.
Re: where to start
Thanks for writing. Met with the pediatrician yesterday and he is most concerned about the auditory processing problem.he wants us to use more charts and pics to help aaron get the info.
here are some subtest scores. if you have any insight, i would love to hear it!!!
performance scores
pict. completion-7
coding-11
pict. arrangement-7
block design-8
object assembly-5
symbol search-8
motor skills-
motor proficiency-fine 10%ile
visual motor integration-16%ile
visual perceptual-40%ile
auditory processing
all 7 subtests were significantly below normal for age
has recommended an fm system.
An auditory learner w/ auditory processing problems… yes, it happens. It could be that test scores were inconsistent for any number of reasons; often it means that even though the kiddo’s a good auditory learner, he’s got problems dealing with some specific part of that. He could have trouble dealing with background noise, or short-term memory, but otherwise do well.
Do you have subtest scores? They can sometimes tell a better story.
