[quote=Anonymous]My son has a genetic disorder which predisposes him to LDs and possibly MR, but his IQ is testing in the 95 range. He too tests very well, but short term auditory memory is a big issue as well as other tests.

He gets tremendous supports in the classroom under IEP eligibility category OHI that really help maximize his potential and minimize his areas of weaknesses.

I strongly urge you to seek an ed consultant and try to go through the eligibility process in the public school setting now. OHI might be an easier way in than SLD.

It will take months and if for some reason her needs aren't being met in whatever private school you find for her you can get those supports out in place for her.

When they neuropsych tested her, did they do the whole battery of educational testing and speech and language? If she hasn't been tested in the last year or 2, it may very well be worth testing her again. WHen repeated and as kids age, the FSIQ tends to go down.

She honestly sounds to me like a girl who can have some lesser type of genetic disorder that masks itself or isn't well known. So many of these types of translocations, mutations etc show up as reduced cognitive abilities but aren't identified easily.

All that being said, it sounds like your girl is such an articulate, great girl and I really believe that those communication skills get you so far in life.  Good luck in figuring out your next steps.[/quote]
