Hello everyone.
I always get great info here- so have another question that I hope ya'll can help with.
DS- 10, 4th grader recent dx (private) ADHD and specific learning disability- dyslexia
Fairfax County, VA
My son is going to be tested through the school district soon. We are meeting with the local screening committee soon to discuss what testing needs to be done.
They said (over the phone) that not all test we had done are accepted by the state of VA.(or I think that is what she ment) So they need to do more (different) testing for some areas.
What test should we expect and agree with and are there any test that we should say no way too?? Any specific test we should ask for?
The private tester used-- (as listed on the eval)
Beery VMI
Child Behavior Checklist
Comprehensive Test of Phonological Processing
Conners 3
Gray Oral Reading Test- 4th ed
Projective Drawings
Sentence Completions
Teacher Report Form
WISC-IV
WRAML-2
WJ-III
Also- when looking at his achievement vs ability gap: It is not as big when looking at his Full scale IQ-- but it is huge when looking at the GAI. (his working memory index was at 2%!!!! which of course is a huge outlier) Is it a reasonable request to have them use the GAI instead of the full scale for determination of learning disorders.
