Results

My husband wanted me to go the results meeting myself...he thought I was the one that suspected Dyslexia and had been reading up on it so I would better understand the results.  I agreed with him on that point but at the same time I felt it was such a huge burden load for me to take on myself and I was already starting to get a little emotional.

So he went with me while our crazy kids waited outside.  The LS Center and Dr. W had printed out a report of K's cognitive processing skills.

He started by saying, "we have a serious problem folks."

My heart sank.

He showed us her reading scores from the Gray Oral Reading Test.  Her reading percentile rank was 75. Not bad. I knew she did okay with her rate because her report card indicated that she was right on grade level for her words per minute read.

Reading Accuracy fell to 50th precentile.  This was one of my concerns. She could read large words but omitted or messed up on smaller words like was, their, etc.

Reading fluency was 63rd percentile and reading comprehension was 50th  percentile. 

Next came the Math results for the Pearson Key Math 3 Test.  Numeration-16 th %tile. Algebra-25th %tile. Geometry 9th %tile. Measurement-16th %tile. Addiction & Subtraction-9%tile.

According the Gibson Cognitive Processing Battery she was right on or slightly above her age level in Processing Speed, Working Memory, Visual Processing, and Word Attack.

She was 2-3 years below age leve in Auditory Analysis, Logic & Reasoning, and Selective Attention. She was slightly below age level in Spelling Testing.

Her Working Memory that I mentioned before is a positive and a negative.  Her Auditory Memory is not very good but she has outstanding Visual Memory.

It was a little too much to take in.  I held it together but cried a little each day for the next couple days.
