[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My ADHD child with high MAP scores and lower grades clearly exceeds grade level content. He gets lower grades because he skips questions and forgets to turn in assignments. He needs to work on exec function skills, which we are, but no one who meets him would think his MAP scores aren't an accurate assessment of his knowledge.

So I don't think your framing is correct. It's more important to look beyond the tests and grades to see *why* your kids are getting the scores and grades that they are. If it's not clear what their issues are, then yes, getting more data or input from an evaluation or tutors can help. [/quote]

This. I do not think the MAP scores are meaningless. Clearly one of your children does have some knowledge despite the bad grades, that's why the MAP is informative.

You should be worried about both of them because both of them lack executive functioning and executive functioning is very important in high school and in life generally. What a weird question.[/quote]
