Ed Psych 2nd ASSESMENT WISC IV

The Ed PSych decided we needed the more up to date Assessment to replace the old WISC III, so he retested Matthew last Thursday. He says he will retest again before Secondary School with this newer version and will need this one to compare. It appears a better test than the older 1 as it highlights Working Memory, and Processing speed.

Matthew was marked down in the Coding score (6)and Information (4) in March 2006, they did not do a Digit test last time, Arithmatic was average 9. Some experts like to consider the ACID scores when considering Dyslexia, A-Arithmetic, C-Coding, I-Information, D-Digit, I summise that the Digit score would have been low as it is this time.

As to there being no evidence of weakness in verbal skills, this time the Ed Psych put it down to the Language support lessons but these S&L lessons 2 x 30mins per week are given in Welsh!!
IMO the improvements are due to his Auditory and Verbal processing improvements as promised by Dore would happen first.

Hi Mathew already repied to you but the gremlins got it so I will try again.
Brilliant mathes with your end of year report. You are making real progress in so many areas. Just wait until after the summer break when it really does all start coming together and in the areas you are still struggling will also devlop. You have not seen nothing yet. Well done Mathew. Ellie XXX
