Okay, let me start by saying that I am lost on half of the testing info in this thread.
But, I do have a couple questions. Mia mentioned there isn't a language composite score for the WIAT for a 5yo. So my son is going to be taking the WIAT and SB5 in a couple months (at 4yrs 8 mo). I know it is early but we need to get some answers and support for schooling. So he is reading amazingly...and I wonder to myself how they could test his achievement and level if they didn't look at reading. I guess I don't know much about either test (although I did look into them a little bit on Hoagies). He has never taken tests but other than being timed he is pretty much up for whatever. I know that neither of those tests are timed, so that is good. He likes writing, reading, math, puzzles, all that good stuff. So my question is twofold, will they assess his reading at all, and also will I get an accurate read of his abilities at this age? Make that threefold
.. although I am not sure about applying for DYS... are either of those tests acceptable for DYS?
