Gratified3 - But do you think the IQ tests showed you something needed to be done? Even if it didn't say what needed to be done?
I didn't know anything about IQ testing and such when I took DSthen7 to see a psychologist after MISERABLE 2yrs in school complaining of boredom and watching his personality change for the worse. Looking back, he was certainly depressed. The psych administered an IQ test and I was shocked. It was a wake up call for me that I needed to be more proactive. The psych didn't offer achievement testing so that hasn't been done. His Explore scores support the scores as well as his SCAT scores and he has high achievement scores on MAP test. With each piece of new data I think "HHmm maybe that IQ test wasn't a fluke." Like Dottie says, I think it's a picture that develops over time in that midrange of high IQ. For those kids who the second you meet them, you just know. There is a boy like that here. He's 10-11yrs old and in an online highschool. The minute you meet this kid, you just know.
