We were planning to have some testing done for DS6 (summer between kindergarten and first grade) because of our (parents) fine/gross motor concerns, and his kindergarten teacher suggested we do the IQ as well because she felt it explained a number of other behaviors she was seeing in the classroom-- some of which caused him difficulty and some which did not. We credit his kindergarten teacher for seeing things we didn't and understanding him in ways we did not. Six months later we decided to do testing for learning disabilities as well as achievement testing as we felt the school was not adequately challenging and accommodating him in first grade.
