We had a meeting with the learning specialist, my daughter's teacher, the school psychologist, and the speech/language pathologist yesterday regarding the test results from the children's hospital. They want to do their own testing which I can understand somewhat but nonetheless makes me a little leery that they don't trust the diagnosis from Children's. The psychologist wants to test her with the WISC-IV and said she feels that the brief cog ability test doesn't give enough detail and is just an estimate of my daughter's cognitive ability. The speech/language specialist wants to evaluate her as well. They won't redo any of the educational testing because it will be too soon to retest.
My daughter's teacher told me that she was last tested to be at a level 18 for DRA which was back in November (my daughter is currently 8 1/2 yo) and would possibly test at a DRA level of 24 now. She felt her biggest weakness is currently math. Also, when they would ask the teacher questions her answers didn't really match up with what I see at home with my daughter. So I'm concerned that since my daughter's teacher doesn't seem to think she is too far behind in reading and math, that my daughter will probably not qualify for an IEP or 504.
They said they will know the results of the testing by late March.
