Jack’s verbal reasoning abilities as measured by the Verbal Comprehension Index, are within the average range. Jack’s visual reasoning abilities as measured by the Perceptual Reasoning Index, are in the high average range. Jack’s ability to sustain attention and working memory as measured by the Working Memory Index is within the average range. John’s ability to sustain attention when processing information without making errors as measured by the Processing Speed Index is in the low average range.Jack’s visual memory measured by the Design Memory Immediate and Delayed Recall, is within the average range. Jack’s verbal memory measured by Verbal learning Immediate and Delayed Recall is in low average. Jack’s general speed and selective attention measured by Trail Making A time is in average range. Jack’s general speed and switching attention measured by Trail Making B time is below average. Jack’s visual attention span measured by Block Span Total Score and cognitive flexibility and switching attention measured by Contingency Naming Time are in low average range. Jack’s impulsivity measured by Contingency Naming Errors is below the averageJack’s, executive functions except for the shifting ability and emotional control rated by both his parents and teacher are clinically significant. Jack’s ability to control his emotions rated by both his parents and teacher are in average range. However, there is an inconsistency in shifting ability rating made by his parents and teacher. His parents’ rating is in average range while his teacher’s rating is clinically significant.Jack’s overall social functioning ability is on borderline. Jack’s Hyperactivity Scale is abnormal. Jack’s Conduct Problem Scale and Peer Problem Scale are on borderline. Jack’s Emotional Symptoms Scale and Pro-social Scale are normal.Table 1Intellectual ability measured by the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children Fourth Edition (WISC-IV)WISC-IV SubsetsScoreClassificationsVerbal Comprehension Index103AveragePerceptual Reasoning Index112High AverageWorking Memory Index92AverageProcessing Speed Index88Low AverageFull Scale IQ101AverageNote.
