JDAX,
Thanks for sharing SRI score. That's quite a score!
I noticed that you mentioned both IQ and acheivement. If you don't mind my asking, did it help you determine a LOG? I'm asking because part of what I'm trying to feel out where my DD "fits" (e.g. similar to scores of children who are a little above advanced classmates, but not quite MG? Similar to students who are a little above MG, but not quite HG?). As I said earlier, I know that I'm taking a kind of vague/broad approach given limited data, but I'll take anything that helps me get a clearer picture. Sometimes I feel like I'm trying to see through sea water! Also, (again if you don't mind my asking), can I ask how old your DS was when he took the SRI? I'm not wanting to pry and I COMPLETELY understand if either of those questions are more detail than you care to share. Thanks for what you have already shared. It helps.
Ergh! I'm just so worn out from thinking about it. It feels icky to be asking about other peoples' kids b/c I end up feeling like a bad scene in a movie with all the Moms at the playground trying to one-up each other. Yuck. I really hope that that's not how it's coming across

It's not coming across as "icky" - I get it
. I've learned that it's not always easy to talk to other people IRL about this type of thing, but gosh, there are so many questions that are hard to ask/answer without the context or perspective.
The IQ/Achievement testing was helpful in determining LOG. I had a lot of questions about where he fit - bright?, MG?, HG? - only because I wanted to know where to begin to see that he gets what he needs educationally. The folks here were kind enough to answer my questions and let me know what his LOG was, based on those scores. It was pretty much in line with what the psychologist told us, but truthfully, I thought she was exaggerating. I think the folks here call it denial.
What else...oh, he was 8(almost 9) and in 3rd grade when he took the last SRI. It sounds like you have a lot of the same questions I did. FWIW, I don't mind answering questions (although, I'm certainly no expert), you can pm me if you'd like.
