Our 5 year old son's situation is complicated due to a medical problem that requires a lot of accomodations from his school. During this year's review, his child psychologist recommended they do the WJ-III Achievement to make sure his academics needs are being met. This has been a huge concern because he comes home at least a couple of times a week crying because he is bored.
Based on the results, the district is going to involve the school's gifted teacher in differentiated learning for him. We cannot discuss acceleration until he turns 6; they said that is state law. These test results are meaningless to me. Our only experience with testing was 1 1/2 years ago when he had a very small amount of testing done.
I would appreciate any advise and any guidance on where to start. It is very overwhelming to advocate for his academic needs when we are already so overwhelmed with his medical needs. Thank you!
WJ III Achievement:
Standard Scores Total- 148
Broad Reading- 151
Broad Math- 134
Broad Written Language- 135
Then, there are many other scores for each individual test.
