Someone in another group said a deviation of 16 points (2 standard
deviations) in an IQ score is considered a significant gap.
So, I'm still not sure what to think. I just don't know what to expect from
the school. I don't want to go in there saying you have to do something if
they actually don't. I want to be as informed as possible. The neuropsych
only gave non specific ideas of what to do with him and when I told him he
would be failing if I didn't help him he suggested that next year I tell his
teacher about this again and then let him go on his own so they can see how
he's doing and hopefully they'll see he needs help. He thinks the school
should do something rather than have to do stuff at home because families
don't get enough family time as it is, or something like that. He doesn't
think I should have to do extra stuff after school hours. I really don't
think there is much the school can do and would like to get to the root of
the problem rather than just accomodate him.
Sorry, I'm starting to ramble. I just don't know what to do about all of
this.

Shelli,
Here is some interpatation for you. I am sorry they didn't explane it
better at the meeting. I am an LD teacher in California. The law states that
your child needs to have a signifiant discrepency between his ability and
his achivement (about 23 points). His ability is measured by the Wechsler
Intelligence Scale for Children - IV and his acivemnt is measured by The
Norris Education Achievement Tests. One hunderd is about avarage on the test
that show numbers close to 100.

On his intelligence tests he scord right around 100.
Verbal Comprehension 108
Perceptual Reasoning 112
Working Memory 88
Processing Speed 100
Full Scale 105

On his ability tests he also scored right around 100.
Spelling 97
Arithmetic 91
Word Reading 108
Reading Comp. 100

There is no signifiant discrepency between his abiliy and achivement. The
only realitively low score deals with his working memory.

Hope that helps,
Rob

I had my son tested by a neuropsychologist this past June and the
results
are below. I showed this to his teacher and we had meetings with the
school
psych, a social worker, the principle, his teacher and the ld teacher.
After
a few meetings they basically said they he's doing ok. He is getting Cs
in
his classes only because I check all of his homework and help him
correct
it. Can anyone interpret these scores for me? Would anything here
qualify
him for help? I'm in Illinois if that makes a difference. My son was 10
years, 2 months when this was done. He'll be 11 yrs old this month. He's
been having problems since first grade with reading. The reading seems
to
have gotten better this year but he still has problems everywhere else.
