[quote=Anonymous]DS 7 has tested consistently during neuropsych testing at an IQ in the very mild ID level., but ID nevertheless and his IEP was changed to reflect this classification since it will help support access to services and supports and accomodations better than OHI in the long term. Our developmental pediatrican commented at our last appointment that she forecasts his potential for reading, writing, and math based on this testing and her observation of him to be in the grade 3 to 6 range. And that it would take through his academic career to acheive this -- with bits and starts throughout of course. I was disappointed but not shocked. We've known for years that DS is intellectually challenged. Not severely, but challenged nonetheless. And after the initial shock of her putting it plainly to me, I did reason through that heck at a grade 3 to 6 reading level you read Sports Illustrated, you can read your average newspaper, you can do basic math. In other words, general and basic life skills. I mean, in reality, who really needs to use any of that alegbra or quote and understand Dante to have a fulfilling career or life? But here's the million dollar question for me: Is reading and writing at a grade 3 to 6 proficiency good enough to earn a HS diploma? What is the standard for that?? I know it's not grade 12 performance. But what it is? Where does it say this? And how do they really test that? [/quote]
