I have a few questions. If you have a SLD does that mean you are dyslexic? On the most recent re eval. my daughter’s full scale IQ was 109 and her prossesing speed was 81. She’s in 12th grade and 5 years behind in reading and writing. It didn’t show verbal or nonverbal scores, did the test change?

What else was available than just the Full Scale and her processing speed? What other scores did you get from the assessment?

SLD doesn’t necessarily mean you’re dyslexic, but dyslexia is one “specific learning disability.”
If she’s five years behind then it could be she’s dyslexic — but I’m afraid an awful lot of reasonably intelligent folks without dyslexia get through high school reading at about a sixth grade level.
What test?

The WISC-IV is different from the WISC-III and our psychologist says it appears to be scoring a bit lower than the III. You can probably access a description by doing a search. The scoring is different but I don’t have that information handy at the moment.
