Our 5 year old has always been a bit delayed with everything but always is making progress and is in his third year of preschool but gets all of the therapies (OT, Speech, PT). They recently did a required evaluation and we were pretty scared of the results.WPPSI-IV Results: Verbal Comp: 73, Visual Spatial 73, Fluid Reasoning 91, Working Memory 87, Processing Speed 75, Full Scale IQ 74 (which is in the 4th percentile and really freaked us out)
On the WIAT-4 Academic the scores were a little better; Word reading 101,Math Problem Solving 88, Receptive Vocabulary 86. (the academic percentiles range 18%-53%)....So my question from any other parents out there who has had a kid with similar results; how worried should we be? Will he be able to go to a "normal" school and just will need some extra help? Should we put more stock in the academic results than the IQ since he is only 5? He does not have autism but definitely has attention issues. I did try and ask the person who gave us the results some questions but their answer was more of a generic response where they didn't want to try and make any predicitions of any kind since he is so young still. Any stories or advice is appreciated!
