They have some information on there about this sort of discrepancy. It is fairly common for kids who have gifted-level verbal and perceptual scores to have average processing speed and/or working memory scores. The information on their website is mostly about the WISC, but I would assume it would be the same for the WIPPSI.


I guess I'm confused about where the APD evaluation comes in to this.
