subtest scores and is considered the most representative estimate of global intellectual functioning.
However, there is scatter in his scores indicating a discrepancy in abilities between domains of ability.
The WISC IV also gives scores on 4 indices. The Verbal Comprehension Index is designed to measure
verbal reasoning and concept formation. The Perceptual Reasoning Index is designed to measure nonverbal
concept formation, visual perception and organization, simultaneous processing, visual-motor coordination,
learning, and the ability to separate figure and ground in visual stimuli. Working memory index measures
the ability to sustain attention, concentrate, and exert mental control. Processing speed is an indication of the
rapidity with which a child can mentally process simple or routine information without making errors.
His scores on the other indices were as follows

attributed to his intelligence level. The need to tailor expectations according to his abilities was stressed. He
will benefit from schooling with a flexible syllabus and intense input.
Additionally, the following suggestions can be followed to help Razeen:
• Academically the focus can be on improving his basic reading, comprehension, and mathematical
abilities.
• Training regarding essential life skills and improving self- help skills will be beneficial to Razeen.
The focus should be on making him more independent and self- sufficient.
• Use of visual and other study aids will help his learn and reinforce learned material
• Liberal use of positive reinforcement during learning will motivate Razeen to persist in the tasks and
try to learn it.
• Defining goals and sub goals clearly will be helpful.
• Revision of skills already learnt at regular intervals is recommended
• Vocational training can be considered at a later stage.
• Constructive criticism should be used, and the child’s abilities need to be kept in mind when
evaluating his performance in various aspects.
