[quote=Anonymous]I have a son with a serious learning disability that has a very high IQ and always scores better than 90%tile in testing every three years. I was so confused when this started in preschool. I couldn’t understand how he could read grades ahead of his age and math was always three years ahead. He doesn’t have adhd but executive functioning was non-existent. He could never learn to spell properly or put together sentences in elementary school but spoke like an adult with his adult words. My daughter was tested extensively just because she was using the pencil incorrectly. She has an average IQ and was average with every subject. Guess who has an easier time in school? Average IQ means you have the basis to learn. The only people who get their IQ tested is if there is a suspected problem. The majority of kids aren’t tested and have no idea what their IQ is. I think people make them up based on what they think it is. If there is an option to get some assistance for her processing skills take it. The more help the better. Students in the highest level classes get extra help that they pay for all the time. The learning center is where kids with learning disabilities go for extra help and extra time on state testing and school testing. There can be a 40 point difference between IQs between these kids but they all have something causing them to need extra help. But having an average IQ is a good place to start. After that what’s important is study skills, focus in class and willingness to work hard. Your child will do well and will have dozens of colleges to choose from. Don’t worry about that. Just keep her from missing classes and keep her assignments on schedule. [/quote]
