WISC

Dr. Jennifer sits across a table from Mikey (the names have been changed in this description) and explains a little about the test that she's about to give him. Mikey is six years old and is having trouble in his class. Dr. Jennifer is going to administer the WISC -- IV to Mikey. She explains that she will be asking him some questions and put some blocks together and some other activities. Mikey is a little bit fidgety and she very patiently discusses the test with him.

The first test consists of putting some blocks together and Mikey has some real problems here. Dr. Jennifer shows them how to do the first one and he has trouble so she does it for him again. Mikey still has trouble so she tries a couple of other designs and then moves on to the next test. Dr. Jennifer then asks Mikey to tell her how to things are alike (like a pencil and a pen) and he seems to do better at this test and like this better than the blocks. She then asks him to repeat some numbers and he struggles again. Dr. Jenifer then asks Mikey to repeat some numbers backward, which he really has trouble with as he can only repeat two numbers backward. It appears that he must get a certain number wrong before she can proceed on to the next test. Dr. Jenifer also appears to be reading from the manual, even though she has administered the WISC -- IV many times.

Mikey is then asked to name some pictures and he seems to do well. Dr. Jennifer encourages him to try as hard as he can but never tells him if his answers are right or wrong. One time he asks if his answer was correct, but she tells him that he was working hard and that was what she wanted him to do.

Mikey is then asked to match some shapes and he really struggles with this test so Dr. Jennifer moves on to asking him some word meanings. Mikey does pretty well on this test and Dr. Jennifer often prompts him to explain his answers further which he does. I am getting the sense watching this test that Mikey is really good with words but not good with other things that are not language related. She then administers what to me sounds like a really hard test….....
