[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For a discrepancy of 2 SDs or more, would it be noted somewhere on the report as being a red flag? Does it get mentioned - to the parents - by the school system IF a significant deviation is uncovered? Is that their responsibility or is sending the report, left to interpretation of parents, all the school system is required to do?[/quote] The school is required to conduct testing to see if there are obstacles to accessing the curriculum. They don't diagnose medical issues (e.g. ADHD). A school psychologist tested our then-7th grader and found him to be in the 7th percentile for processing speed, with more than 3 SDs between scores. The report didn't suggest ADHD or further evaluation. The report concluded that he 'may require additional time to process information.' We decided to do more testing on our own, and DC received both an ADHD and anxiety diagnosis. [/quote]
