Our "normal" Educational Psychologist has diagnosed students with IQs of
130+ why should there be a problem? WAIS is normalised for the adult
population surely???

Thanks Penny. I can see. I guess the psychologist in question would need
to
be someone with the right approach to look into that direction. If you
have
any name in mind pls let me know on or off the list. Best, Andy
