Guest guest Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 I have a friend here who was told the same thing....... your daughter is " too smart " and does not need services. Apparently part of it was from an IQ test administered at age 2 1/2 (supposedly needed before transitioning to preschool services) that showed she was above the MR range, hence must not need services. The mom is a fighter and her daughter did recevie the needed services, but it was an awful fight.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Its sad because its almost a double standard. We get told that I kids can't learn but then when they can show they can then they don't give services UGH! During the eval, they were shocked at how well he did. Crazy!

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 No such rules about IQ testing here in So Cal....... they tested at Regional Center (I wasn't really even aware of it being an option,and I was so exhaused with a 2 year old and new baby they could have told me anything, LOL) for her " transition " out of Early Intervention Services.... she was 2 1/2, and I don't even remember what it said because I felt it was worthless to try and IQ test a child of this age. Since then, the school district has asked repeately each year, particularly at her trienial review, and I have always declined. The school psychologist convinced me to do it this past year (for a number of reasons that I won't go into now), so she was 8 this time. Don't know if it is indicative of her true IQ, and I know that it doesn't reflect her actual abilities, but they have their number and now I can continue to decline until she's ready to transition into adult services back at Regional Center. , mom to (11), (9 DS), and Sammy (7) and Behnke wrote: >I may be wrong but I thought they could not IQ test a >child under a certain age?

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Supposedly, IQ testing of under at certain age (something like 7 or 8) isn't that reliable (if it ever is ; )). More to the point, isn't there something in IDEA about not using IQ or any other single measure as the sole determiner of eligibility?

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 My son had an IQ test when he transitioned from early intervention (our birth - 3 program) to the school district.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 I just finished reading the thread, my son also did what I consider to be very well, he scored a 78. The IQ should never be used as the single assesment tool to base decisions on. Even if our children's IQ's are on the higher end they still experience many global delays. Those being OT, PT, Speech and Self-Help and also they still need additional repitition and time to learn academics. No way would I stand for your son is too smart (although wouldn't it be great if...) all child can learn more. Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tests you are referring to I believe ar not IQ tests but tests to find out the developmental age equivalent which is different. They do have non-verbal IQ tests but I don't think they use them on children before they get into school unless specifically asked for.

There are alot of parents who allow the schoools to IQ their children for a variety of reasons all of them good I am sure. But there are also many parents who do not know they have an option to not test and I have seen the IQ test used against children on both ends of the scales. This list serve is to support each other and to also inform. I have learned a tremendous amount from those who have gone before me. I hope that I too can share some of the experiences I have had, and have had access to, in order to help other new parents make informed decisions. There are many school districts in this country and they all work differently. the more information we gather as parents the better parents and advocates we we will be.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Maverick had his first IQ testing done at age 3. That was before I knew better. Since that time, whenever it was time for testing, I wouldn't allow any numerical testing done, until last year. As a freshman in HS they needed it to get more services for him. They did the testing but we did not allow anyone to know the numbers. and I don't even know. I don't consider the tests fair or accurate. I also don't want teachers teaching him based on a number.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 I looked in my books from my wrightslaw bootcamp. I remember they discussing that all the districts want (in some cases) is the number. ONce they have it then they will set goals to that number and tell parents thats all they think your child will do. The other pitfall about testing is that some testers will up the numbers because they know that is what the parents want. The other problem with that that a few parents of our local group found out is that for some Medicaid waiver programs will only use an IQ test from the district and if you had a tester that scored you above a 75 to make you happy - you just disqualified your kid from that one waiver program that has to be below 75. In texas, its CLASS that has to be below 75. Medicaid waiver programs are Federal programs but they are called different names in different states. What I did notice is that the moment they realized that they were not going to pull a fast one on me, they backed off. I have made it my mission to know about the IQ tests (ECI is helping me with getting the materials). I don't mind testing sort of but my son is nonverbal and i don't want someones best guess to be the thing that follows him forever. Just my opinion.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Whoa, now. I am a very knowledgeable parent, and had full understanding of the testing being done, it was done with my blessings. It was done in a psychologist's office and I was in attendance. Without going into great detail, it was necessary to have it done earlier vs later in order to maintain services for my child. There are any number of variables that go into testing, we don't all fit in perfectly sized blocks. I take offense to the suggest that I " wasn't aware of my rights " or whatever. It was imperative at that time that she be tested. Re: can you believe....

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 They do but I feel from what I have been told, that they are very unreliable. That is why the Feds have said for typical kids -not to test below 9. I had my son tested at a private school for kids with DS and even the test said that it is very hard to tell on young kids and non verbal kids what they actually know inside. Plus the tester usually does not have much contact with the child prior to it. The child is less likely to preform for a stranger in a strange room therefore not an accurate result. The testers on those test have a very limited range of what they can say to the child and what answers they can receive from a child to give a passing on it. Its all subjective and you can get 2 very different results from 2 different testers observing on the same day. Just not very accurate. From what I have been shown.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 , Don't get me wrong, I have NEVER said that you don't know or have the knowledge. I also never said that it was not right for everyone. As we are all very different. I am telling my experience and what I have seen, and been told and sharing it. Not everyone maybe as knowledgeable as you. I was not until another parent shared there experience. If some of my parents would not have shared the info that they did, I would have been stuck so I am just passing it forward. If it applies to you great, if it doesn't then it doesn't. I don't know each one of you or your individual children so that is why its a general statement. Every school district is different and everybody shares their experience in the hope that it might help someone else and that is all I am trying to do. If you took (or anyone else) took it as an insult to your knowledge - I am sorry that was not my intent. I had hope to share some things in the hope that maybe it would help someone else but I guess not. B --- <mome23kjnc@...> wrote: > Whoa, now.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 , I am surprise that you took offense. I don't know you or your situation or your child. I am not sure why you took it so personally. If you want to suggest that everyone on this site knows everything that you do, then I will not suggest or share anything anymore. I take offense that you would suggest that I am telling you what to do or not to do about your own child. If I read anything that does not apply to me then I delete and move on. Again I am sorry.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 My son was IQ tested using a non verbal test through a private school for kids with DS. Even they said they were still limited in how to ask a question. Like I would say (point to an object) and say in and he would do it. They were required to say a sentence and he just looked at them like what! He could do the task but not in the way they wanted so he did not get credit. That is all I meant.
