My kids are in private school but the PSS does evaluations for learning disabilities. I took one of my younger children for an evaluation. In the course of the conversation, I realized that these were the same people who evaluated my DYS DD10 at 3 for the gifted program and told my DH after a 10 min multiple choice "screen" where they asked her mostly about animals (she had no interest in animals but knew every tool in my dads garage and what they were used for) that her IQ was 117. It is GAI 155 on WISC-IV They didn't ask her to read or do any kind of reasoning question or puzzles (she was doing 100 piece puzzles like nothing at that time). Anyway, I couldn't help but bring it up to suggest they consider a different way of screening. Of course what came after were all the reasons(excuses) for her not making the cut. I mostly just gave them my "You can't be serious" look. I can only imagine what they said about me when I left, but I had to get it off my chest. Lol!
