[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To me it would depend on the degree of impairment she’s expected to have as an adult. If she’ll always be behind, but simply on the lower end of normal (say, an IQ of 85) I would probably hold her back. But if she’s intellectually disabled to the point she won’t be getting a normal high school diploma someday, I’d probably keep her with her class for social reasons. Do the professionals in her life like her teachers, therapists, and pediatricians have opinions on what would be best for her?[/quote] I agree with this but will say that at this age it's probably really hard to tell. My youngest will be in 7th grade and I wish we'd held him back a year but in K-2, we didn't know where he'd end up. My oldest (now in HS) caught up but, of course, we didn't know that would be the case back in the day.[/quote]
