[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids didn't react because they never took the WISC.  There innate intelligence was fairly obvious from any old test teachers wanted to give them.  I feel sorry for all the kids who are subjected to these additional batteries of testing.  [/quote]

These are the DCUM responses I HATE THE MOST-- the ones that in no way, shape or form answer the question asked, but instead point out that they are #blessed not to have the problem-- with a healthy dose of smug judgment thrown in.  PP: [b]when you read the question and realized you had nothing substantive to add, why did you not STFU and keep moving?[/b]  Does your response do anything except give you a chance to congratulate yourself?  --signed a mom whose child also qualified for AAP based on his dazzlingly obvious brilliance ( :roll: ) , but still had to "subject him to batteries of tests" for ADHD.

Because I believe all this additional testing is over the top and too often done for the wrong reasons (to find an "excuse" for other test scores that don't meet parents expectations).  I'm not saying this is true in all cases, or your cases.  But I have been told this by more than one psychologist administering the WISC in this area, so I think my viewpoint is as valid and useful as anyone's on this thread.  [/quote]
