Thanks so much AEH - I talked on the phone with his special Ed teacher and she said as much. Also they were wonderful and very careful to give him as much scribing help as possible . I believe that's the only reason he did as well as he did - she described in detail how they administered the test to minimize his handicap. She said he did "rock it" and he clearly has the ability so they wanted that to show as much as possible. My question is now -will we have this problem with the SCAT? I realize now again how all the fighting I did to get him a scribe was so important . Thank God for this board . We wouldn't even be discussing this at all if you all hadn't heloed me with that!
