[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Will not be able to rule out cognitive issues until neuropsych, but if a child is verbal, is a language score a reasonable approximation of intelligence or not? Have heard conflicting reports. [/quote] Kids can have language delays that make their language skills lower than their cognitive skills, often substantially lower. You definitely can see kids with severe language problems and average IQ's. The reverse doesn't happen, at least not to the same degree. You don't see, for example, age appropriate language skills in a child with a significant cognitive disability.[/quote] I am a school psychologist and the reverse absolutely does happen. I have tested several kids with an average verbal IQ with below average fluid reasoning scores. Several of these students also had low working memory scores.[/quote] Okay. So I guess not as reassuring as I had hoped. [/quote]
