[QUOTE="totoro, post: 164469, member: 3155"] Not to be negative but I personally don't put much weight into the Teacher or SD tests scores. Both of our Daughter's have obvious issues, but our SD has lack of funds, so they will only "test out" the really severe children. Basically if your child is functioning, they will work the tests to make it so your child does not qualify. If the outside tests say your child qualifies, push for services. We have 2 sources that say our 4 yo needs services and at least 6 that say our 6 yo severely needs services. Yet neither one, according to the "school tests" qualified for anything! Steely is right about the discrepancy as well, we had a 16 point variable. The SD would not even look at it... In our Neuro-psychiatric evaluation we have a 48 point discrepancy I think, one of the largest the tester had ever seen!!! It was in Focus/Attention and Visual concentration. SD could care less. I wish you luck and say arm yourself with lots of knowledge!!! AND support, I had none at the time and backed down before I should have. [/QUOTE]
