to do with APD. I looked up the WPPSI subtests, and the two that count toward processing are coding and symbol search:
Symbol Search*: deciding if a target symbol appears in a row of 3 symbols and marking YES or ? accordingly.
Coding *: copying symbols that are paired with simple geometric designs as quickly as possible for 2 minutes
Processing Speed Quotient, or visual-motor, clerical speed and accuracy, includes Coding & Symbol Search
These are not areas where APD is likely to be a significant influence. It's more likely that these are affected by a vision issue or a fine motor issue. That's what happened with my son. Of course, you daughter could have done what mine did -- bombed the coding because she insisted on going back and carefully erasing anything she got wrong and meticulously correcting it, even though it's a timed test.
I'm certainly not an expert, but given what you've said here, I don't think the WPPSI results indicate an APD. That is, if you're concerned about APD, I wouldn't take the WPPSI into evidence.
