Hi All!
Hope you are all well. I've been off the radar - so busy these days. But, I reach out to you all, as the only ones who EVER truly get it!!!!
So... to remind you, DS6, skipped K, in private "gifted" school, 1st grade, DYS.
Things have been going very well, with the exception of timed math. Not surprising, as he doesn't like to rush, and he is new to the school and math and it is a grade 2 math curriculum. He does perfectly fine on all areas - word problems, money, time, graphs, fractions.... but whenever they set the timer for straight up facts (9 plus 7...) and freezes.
SOOO, we met with the School Psych today to discuss it. She is a clinical PhD. She told us that:
1-SBV scores are elevated and only used by people trying to get their kids into gifted programs and that they are not reflective of true ability
2-That his IQ and Achievement tests will decrease as he gets older
3-that he doesn't appear to have number concepts (from a brief observation)
Was totally underwhelmed by his background and told us he probably has Sensory Intergration D/O because he is ambidextrous - "not established cerebral dominance".
I am not even sure what about this makes me so furious, but I am... And I can't stop being furious!!!!!!!
HELP
