Does anyone out there have any comments on the acceptability, or otherwise,
of an Ed Psych's report for DSA? The student has scored very poorly on all
aspects of the WAIS-111UK with scores ranging from 3 to 8 on all subtests.
He has a writing speed of 5 words per minute and his reading and spelling
scores on the WORD are very much below average for his age. It is also
mentioned that the student also spent a year in Pakistan at 8 years of age.
The Conclusion of the report is:
"X's literacy skills are even weaker than one might predict from his
performance on the WAIS111UK. It is feasible to suggest that specific
learning difficulties might have contributed to the poor development of his
literacy skills. I think it is less likely that the gap between his actual
literacy skills and expected level of his literacy skills based on his Full
Scale IQ is due to the interruption in his English education."
Any help much appreciated.
