Hoping to get some input on recent testing. There was quite a bit and I am listing most but for now leaving out a portion that was a self test I may post separately with some concerns.
Anyone input/thoughts on the following?

PASS Scales/ Description Standard Score (SS) Percentile Rank Description
Subtests Scaled Score (ScS)
Planning Ability to develop and use a plan (strategies) to solve problems 77 (73-88) 6th Low
Matching Numbers Scan and identify like number sets 5 Low
Planned Codes Scan and code letters 7 Average
Simultaneous Ability to understand relationships among parts of stimuli to form a comprehensive whole 108 (101-114) 70th Average
Non-Verbal Matrices Evaluating and understanding complicated patterns among abstract designs 14 Above Average
Verbal-Spatial Relations Evaluating and understanding logical grammatical relationships. 10 Average
Figure Memory Supplement Test Visual Memory 10 Average
Attention Ability to selectively attend to stimuli while ignoring other distractions 82 (79-93) 12th Below Average
Expressive Attention Provide the names of pictured colors while ignoring distracting variables 5 Low
Number Detection Identifying numbers that are identical to the target set 9 Average
Successive Ability to hold and recall information in sequential order 94 (87-102) 34th Average
Word Series Repeat a series of single-syllable words 8 Average
Sentence Repetition Repeat a series of nonsense sentences 10 Average
Full Scale Score Overall expected ability **88 (92-97) Interpret with Caution 21st Average
Visual/Motor processing (Sensory Motor):
INDEX
STANDARD SCORE & CLASSIFICATION %ILE
Visual-Motor Integration 74 Low 4th
Visual Perception 93 Average 32nd
Motor Coordination 90 Average 25th
Consistent with previous evaluations, his visual motor integration (sensory motor) skills fall in the low range. This is consistent with his own report and his mother’s report that it is difficult for M. to get his thoughts onto paper and that written expression is a challenge for M. His visual perception and motor coordination skills are age appropriate
Auditory Processing
Subtest Standard/Scaled Score Percentile Rank Normative Classification
Basic Phonological Skills 90 25th Average
Word Discrimination 10 50th Average
Phonological Segmentation 5 5th Low
Phonological Blending 9 37th Average
Auditory Memory 96 39th Average
Number Memory Forward 9 37th Average
Number Memory Reversed 10 50th Average
Word Memory 9 37th Average
Sentence Memory 9 37th Average
Auditory Cohesion 100 50th Average
Auditory Comprehension 11 63rd Average
Auditory Reasoning 9 37th Average
Overall Auditory Processing 95 37th Average
Executive Functioning:
Raters Parent Teacher Teacher
Mother Biology & PE Teacher Spanish Teacher
Inhibit: Controls impulses; appropriately stops own behavior at the proper time 42 48 45
Shift: Moves freely from one situation/activity to another as the situation demands; transitions; solves problems flexibly 72++Clinically Significant 50 45
Emotional Control: Modulates emotional responses appropriately 58 49 45
Behavioral Regulation Index: Overall ability to shift cognitive set and modulate emotions and behavior via appropriate inhibitory control (composite of Inhibit, Shift, and Emotional Control) 57 48 45
Initiate: Begins a task or activity; independently generates ideas 73++Clinically Significant 72++Clinically Significant 43
Working Memory: Holds information in mind for the purpose of completing a task; stays with an activity 63 70++Clinically Significant 43
Plan/Organize: Anticipates future events; sets goals; develop appropriate steps to carry out a task; understands and communicates main ideas or key concepts 63 86++
Clinically Significant 43
Organization of Materials: Keeps workspace, play areas, and materials in an orderly manner 69+Clinically Significant 70++
Clinically Significant 44
Monitor: Checks work; assesses performance during or after finishing a task to ensure attainment of goal; keeps track of the effect of own behavior on others 59 71++
Clinically Significant 42
Metacognition Index: Ability to initiate, plan, organize, and sustain future-oriented problem solving in working memory; cognitively self-manage tasks and monitory own performance (composite of Initiate, Working Memory, Plan/Organize, Organization of Materials, and Monitor) 67+
Clinically Significant 78++
Clinically Significant 42
Global Executive Composite: Summary score that incorporates all eight clinical scales of the BRIEF 65+
Clinically Significant 68+
Clinically Significant 42
I am continued to be told that Math is a strength and comprehension is good but I think according to the above score there are area of weakness. Written expression is definitely an area of weakness. I am trying to think of what we can do as school with a kid who does not want to stand out.
