Kathy,

Which test are suggested? How do we find out about them?

Bridget was just retested by the schools (Our schools are under court order

due to inappropriate placements) and used the 2 test you listed. I feel

they

are not good test, but do not know where to find something more

appropriate.

Hi

Years back Green told me to look at the TONI or Leiter, both are

geared

for kids with language delays. I asked my uncle about these two tests and

he

agreed this would be more appropriate for Sara. Luckily when the Reval

meeting came around I just asked if anyone thought Sara had no MR? All

agreed she

did so I ended the meeting with OK no need to assess her. At Sara's

initial

evaluation Sara did have an IQ test .................. I call this time

Pre-Workshop days lol I allowed to many things back then lol

Now because I did allow an invalid test to be done on Sara, I did demand

they black out the score and the only paper to be in the school file is the

summary (which was surprising accurate) My sister who taught in my area told

me

to NEVER let the scores into the schools, she said Reg Ed teachers who may

get

your child will FREAK if they found out the IQ score of a child coming into

their class (just their lack of knowledge and fear) I also know of a child

who

had an invalid test done and scored a 20 .............. very low. Yrs later

he is now reading on a 3rd grade reading level at age 11.

Anyway I am passionate in making sure accurate tests are done in school,

the medical arena etc .......... Sara could be like me and have test phobia

too lol
