How much credence on cognitive tests?

[Guest guest]

s cognitive test results are in, according to CP and not sure if this is just down to interpretation, P does not have a learning disability. This is written 3 times in bold.

The scores still look pretty low ie working memory 4th centile although previously it was below zero, but this is the thing, the 4th centile is IQ index 74 which indicates borderline ability, how does that pan out? 4th centile mean 96% of people will do better, that can't be borderline surely?

Anyway he is insisting no learning disability, college tested him 3 times and found him to have LD, this man thinks all issues are rooted in OCD and Pathalogical doubting, which we should now be managing ourselves with sports clubs and leisure activities monitoring him watching the News and internet searches of things that may trouble him.

I had him at running club for well over a year and he has achieved his 5 mile swimming certificate but none of this has altered his learning one iota and if anything has made his self worth considerably worse by being ignored by the other kids.

Is there any way of checking how these tests are interpreted?

Hi Vicky

New to group, how old is ? We had similar tests with our daughter

although found the Child Psychologists and Paeds pretty useless in our case as

they missed an ASD diagnosis for 6 years.
