Verbal working memory processing issues?

I just got a report back stating that my DS scored below average in the verbal working memory processing part of the Automated Memory assesment. He was average in all other parts of the test.

In the summary it said that a below average score in verbal working memory processing could indicate a specific learning difficulty. Has anyone any idea of what type of learning difficulty?

Could be any number , such as Auditory Processing , Dyspraxia , Dyslexia etc, or even a hearing problem such as glue ear. How far below average was he ?

Was that the only test administered?

He scored 80, 90 - 110 is average.

He has had some other tests recently. One which showed he probably has dyspraxia so maybe that's a learning difficulty they could be referring too.

It's frustrating to get a letter saying the results could indicate a specific learning difficulty without proper explanation on a Friday! Hopefully the SENCO can explain further next week.
