2014 AAP Appeals

[Anonymous]

There have been a lot of discussion here at DCUM about the AAP committee not liking the GAI. Who knows if it's true but I have done much research on FSIQ and GAI and most, if not all the information I've found is that GAI should be accepted.

My kid's GAI is 130. FSIQ was 116 which was really pulled down by low processing speed.

When the AART completed the summary sheet for our child's file, she put 130 as the FSIQ.

I think that is a little odd since that wasn't what the FSIQ was.

Does anyone have information on what the cutoff score for IQ tests are?

We are appealing and our DC tool the WISC IV. He has a GBRS of 10. His scores are:

VCI 134
PRI 139
WMI 129
PSI 106
FSIQ 136

What are his chances on an appeal?

Chances are very good.

My kid got WISC-IV score 140 (VCI - 136, PRI - 135, WMI - 144, PSI - 109, FSIQ - 140) and GBRS - 8.

What are the chances of getting through the appeal.

Thanks.

Spoke with an FCPS committee member about three weeks ago and she explained there's an "unofficial" GBRS benchmark/ minimum of 13 for aap applicants/appealers.

If this is the case why don't they share that to save everybody- both parents and the committee- from wasting their time?

Is it waste to go for appeal if the GBRS is less than 13, even though WISC-IV score is 140.

I have to think it is not a waste of time. My kid got in on the first round with a GBRS of 11. The CogAt was 140 and NNAT 143. Seems like your chances would be as good as my kid's.

That was very dishonest of her, and it might not be a good strategy as the committee will see a conflict between the report and the summary sheet.

130 and 116 are quite a bit apart. My ds's GAI would have been in the 150s, but his processing speed pulled it down to the 140s...which I feel definitely reflects his abilities more than a 150s score would.

During the repeal process will they request the input from the teachers even though you have very superior score in all the categories in WISC-IV.

19:30 is full of crap. On appeal gbrs are meaningless. Wisc of 125 or above will getbin on appeal. Retired AART who knows of what I speak!

The original GBRS will remain in the file and will be unchanged. The teacher will not provide any further input.

what is your source? I thought that the class teacher's provide input for GBRS and that was it.
