Counselor suggested we see a psych for one of my 10yr twin daughters to address the possible adhd and dyslexia issues she is encountering. New psych (who specializes in learning disabilities not giftedness) says "this IQ cannot be correct..in all my years of practice I have never seen an IQ this high (1st score =over 150 2nd score (on ritalin)=over 170". She then goes on to criticize the WJ achievement test as not an adequate achievement test, etc. I don't give a rats behind what my kid's IQ is..I want help addressing the dyslexia and adhd so this kid can function in society. She says they are intertwined and it is important to know exactly. So if the IQ is X vs. Z, why should I care. Does it really make a difference or are we getting asked to do more testing that we really don't need? Why is this so hard???
