[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does DCPS recognize NVLD as a basis for an IEP?  My 9YO has a 50-point gap between his verbal and nonverbal IQ scores, as tested by DCPS, [b]but because both are normal and above, they will not qualify him for any services or accommodations. [/b] We did not specifically talk about NVLD in his IEP meeting, but after doing some reading about that kind of score discrepancy, am now thinking we should do our own private testing.  He has clear fine/gross motor delays and has had years of OT but he doesn't test low enough to continue to qualify for school-based services (and we're fine with that).

If we go down the road of private testing, any recommendations for someone good (in DC, preferably) to identify NVLD?  Any recommendations on helpful accommodations to request for a kid with very highly gifted verbal IQ but low normal visual/spatial IQ?  Is this better addressed as a 504 than IEP?

Thanks for your advice!

Services and accommodations are not contingent on IQ scores either but the diagnosis.  Kids with high IQs can have an IEP if they have a disability recognized under IDEA.[/quote]
