I'm the poster the 2e child.  I get your point, but it doesn't happen to be our case.  As part of his IEP evaluation, the school had to do extensive testing.  [b][u]We've seen on several different individual tests, given one on one by trained psychologists, that his IQ is in the upper extreme range.[/u][/b]  But he's 10 and still can't reliably spell words like "homework".  We aren't fighting the fight, mostly because we don't want him pulled out of class for anything, but it would've been nice to have had his intelligence formally acknowledged and to have someone ask us.  He's had such self esteem issues related to the dyslexia, [b][u]it would've been nice to be able to give him that little boost that says "see, you really ARE just as smart as little johnny and janie".[/u][/b][/quote]

couldn't the individual test results boost his confidence?[/quote]
No - the kid has probably heard teachers and others say the scores aren't reliable enough.  ouch.  Poor guy.[/quote]
