[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's the point? Your child is reading on grade level or above grade level. How could there be a disability and be why do you want there to be one? A test is just a snapshot in time. [/quote]
A kid with an IQ more than a couple standard deviations above average should be reading well above grade level. Just meeting "grade level" is a way to deny 2E kids' true needs.[/quote]

Good luck with that.  DC was denied a 504 Plan despite testing and a doctor's 'order' because DC tested above average in all subjects.  DC was denied admission into our school's gifted program despite very high CoGAT scores because DC didn't score high enough on standardized tests.  I just hired a tutor to help DC with AoPS to keep DC moving forward with math - we consider school math review at best.  I don't have an answer for reading.  I hired a reading tutor and she felt like there wasn't much she could do for DC because DC tested well above grade level on her assessment that she uses with new students, so for now I just try to enforce 30 minutes of 'pleasure' reading per day and we do some vocab workbooks.
