[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child has limited verbal ability, so what is the best way to assess ID in that case?[/quote] You want a non-verbal IQ test like the Leiter. My son, now a young adult, technically has a Dx of Mild Intellectual Disorder. But there's a 30 point gap between his nonverbal and verbal IQs. His nonverbal IQ is typical. So he functions quite differently than his friends who have similar verbal IQs on a traditional IQ test. That's why you want to dig down into these scores and get a full picture. The biggest problem we found is with ID or and ASD disorder, teachers marginalize kids quickly. You have to keep fighting to get them to acknowledge your kid can learn. [/quote]
