Psych eval.


Scores were invalid during his testing because he refused to cooperate on certain tasks - doc dictates:


"Interpretation of WISC-IV scores for him is given consciously, due to the s/l: manual refusal behaviors noted during testing."


Manual refusal behaviors?  Is this right?  Thanks!

My assessment of him reveals many strengths, including long-term friendships, good relations with family members, solidly normal intelligence including strong S/L: visual enhance auto reasoning, and absence of any “behavior problems” in the usual sense of the word.

I also believe the diagnosis of Disruptive Behavior Disorder Not Otherwise Specified should be ruled out for her given high levels of concerns of these types seen for her at school.  However, it does seem possible that some of these behaviors are related to issues with attention span and/or learning, and in particular, auditory memory; conceivably, as these issues are successfully addressed, we may see less pronounced S/L: SUP-TUNE-IS on her part, at least in the classroom.

I'm sorry,  Since I already have suprascript and subscript up on my tool bar, my instructions were what to do for O(subscript)2 so all you have to do is type O2 (normal script) and it changes automatically.  I don't like having to highlight the 2 and go up there and click the subscript button every time.  I would rather type O2 and let Word change it for me.    I try to get Word to do as much for me as possible.  I do this for cm squared, cm cubed, H2(subscript)0, etc.
