[quote=Anonymous] This has happened twice now. Once a speced teacher tried to convince us the DRA was normal range. We had print outs that said DC's score was below average, but they apparently had their own range that broadened the definition of average. A few years later DC had Speech and Language testing at the school. A standard score of 86 was considered average. Sorry, I know some like to think a standard deviation of 15 is all average below and above 100, but most places consider 86 LOW AVERAGE, not average. A child Call me nitpicky, but I resent having my kid's abilities described as average when so many of the standard scores where mid to late 80s. Yes, there has been improvement, but it is so misleading to call that average IMO.[/quote]
