[quote=Anonymous]Who did your eval? What did it say? It sounds like you still need help understanding your child (and I don't mean that as an insult...it sounds like the evaluation wasn't helpful in explaining things to you). An IQ of 78 is not going to cause "behavior challenges". It might cause some misunderstandings on the appropriate way to handle expectations and behavior, but that is not the same thing as a child having behavior problems. My kid's IQ at 5 was 80. He was, and is, one of the sweetest and most well behaved children in his class. But he definitely has other issues (anxiety, language, gross and fine motor, social). FWIW, I think his IQ clocked in at 92 when he was retested at 7 1/2. He still has special needs. There was nothing magical about having his score go up into the average range, except he's less likely to qualify for services. Focus on what your child needs help with, not the IQ score. [/quote]
