[quote=Anonymous]I think I would want a private eval to see what is going on with a kid testing like this. It seems surprising there is no LD with the other things going on. Is the ADHD treated with meds? That can impact IQ scores. We were told that our kid (who tested about 30 points different on IQ tests a few years apart) was probably getting a lower score the second time due to the impacts of ADHD, which we had not previously had a diagnosis for. He knew certain things but didn't get the points because he didn't pay enough attention to the directions. I would want to make sure the ADHD is under control first. Second, I think you can take a wait-and-see approach with a IQ. I would not fall into the trap of thinking there's nothing that can be done because it's "just low IQ." There are many things you can do to support development and learning. I would seek out some good external supports for this if the school is throwing up their hands.[/quote]
