List of Previous Testing/Records Reviewed:
Genesis’s initial psychoeducational assessment in 2015 suggested general learning difficulties according to the WISC-V. Genesis’s Full Scale Score on the WISC-V was unable to be calculated due to an invalid subtest score, which contributed to the FSIQ (Verbal Comprehension=Extremely Low; Visual Spatial=Extremely Low; Fluid Reasoning=Average; Working Memory= Average; Processing Speed=N/A). Specifically, Genesis displayed difficulty with tasks that required a general fund of knowledge, processing information quickly, and with visual spatial processing abilities. Yet, she showed a relative strength in solving novel tasks that require inductive reasoning as well as with auditory and visual working memory tasks. Her overall academic achievement on the WJIV and KTEA 3 indicated that she performed below age and grade level expectations with a personal strength in written expression. Genesis demonstrated limited performance with basic academic skills in decoding, comprehension, math calculation, math reasoning, and spelling.

She was cooperative with the examiner and participated willingly in the evaluation process. Her conversational language skills were adequate. At times, she would deliberate before answering and ask for clarification when needed. Genesis remained on tasks and did not exhibit any behavioral difficulties during testing. However, it is important to note that Genesis displayed difficulty with following directions and in order to ensure comprehension she often required prompting that did not conflict with standardized procedures. Overall, Genesis performed to the best of her ability. The results of this assessment appear to be a valid and reliable estimate of Genesis’s present level of
