[quote=Anonymous]"I don't believe that it is generally accepted by the neuropsychologists that the IQ test should be done more than once. In fact, the 2nd-4th grade age range is considered the best time to do it as IQ is considered most stable. But there are other tests that can be redone or as updates, such as academic achievement tests and the various scales done for anxiety, ADHD, Autism, etc. Are you sure that's not what the counselor wants to see? That may be true for neurotypical children, but frequently in children with special needs, that is a time when those special needs are still being teased out and many can interfere with an IQ test. I know with my DC, the IQ test was ruled invalid because of the results. It wasn't until he was in 8th grade when they finally were able to have a valid IQ test." Well, my child is not neurotypical and our neuropsychologist and education consultant both told us there's no need to do the IQ test again. [/quote]
