Neuro Psych 2007
Brief update: Gained in points on IQ 2004 : 2007: Verbal IQ 110 123 Performance IQ 90 94 Full Scale 100 109 Psych told us that again he is still learning BUT the gap between verbal and performance has gotten bigger, and that is not good. His reading went from K to 2nd Grade. His spelling went from K to 2nd Grade. His arithmetic K to 3rd Grade. Mind you, Kevin is headed into the 4th grade. “Kevin has constructional dyspraxia (or deficits in constructing figures on paper consistent with cerebral impairment). In contrast to the above deficits suggesting decreased efficiency of the right and non dominant cerebral hemisphere, aphasia (or deficits in language processing consistent with cerebral impairment). In addition, generalized impairment was indicated by deficits in auditory attention (to slowly presented perception (bilaterally), and conceptual reasoning.” The latter performance should be interpreted with some caution, though, because conceptual reasoning was evaluated after lunch when Kevin was thought to have had a lot of seizures activity and because in conjunction with this observation was Kevin’s parents’ report that Kevin generally demonstrates very good conceptual reasoning abilities.(Directly from the report). So, they did notice some seizures! Under the behavior or mood… everything was connected to either meds or to seizures. Hmmmm Trying to process all of this information. They gave 10 recommendations. Will list them later.

Does it gove suggestions for his teachers to help bridge the gaps and prevent as much further decline as possible? Is Kevin already in a small class? If not that may be beneficial, Riley was lost when she started school and was in a regular ed K class of 20 children. Ri's neuropsych gave some really good suggestions for helping her learn such as using lots of visual supports and to use a multi sensory approach. I hope Kevin has a good teacher this coming year that is willing to take the recommendations that the report gives you... It is hard to see numbers on paper, and hard to know they are losing ground and feel so helpless. Ri lost 5 points from the very first test in 2005 to the next one in 2006 and then 3 more points from Nov. to July of 07. Her full scale is now 59. Da#m seizures....
