| Do you have a re-eval coming up (every 3rd year)? If so, you are part of the team and can request updated testing to see if she would qualify for Gt/led services. That said, based on what you are saying, it could also be used against her and the results could show she no longer needs an IEP. |

It was useful in helping illuminate DS was experiencing frustration dealing with a significantly lower processing speed vs overall capability (30 pts difference).

No, OP, you don't need to know your child's IQ, which is pretty irrelevant at age 7 anyway. As much research has shown, IQ changes as kids grow up. And if you look into the history of IQ testing, you'll find loads of biases and other problems with this method of quantifying intelligence.
As a PP has said, if you think your child is gifted, he probably is, so move forward from there. It only matters what your child is able and wiling to do anyway. He may be a math genius, but he might not care about math, so what difference does a high math IQ mean? Nada. |
