[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they get rid of parent referrals what happens if you have a WISC? Can you submit that or not?  For example, my current second who was found eligible was not “in pool” on NNAT or CogAT but would have been in “pool” if WISC was considered.

I find this would mainly adversely impact students with disabilities if it’s not allowed. [/quote]

One of the recommendations was to not allow parent submissions so no WISC. Most of the people providing WISCs are doing so because of lower CogAT scores or as part of the appeal. It is a distinct advantage to parents who have the knowledge, time, and money for a WISC.

2E kids have been tested already and won’t need a WISC. They are not going to be disadvantaged. My son needed speech therapy but underwent other testing to determine if his speech issue was a part of another disability. We have all the reporting from those tests. While it wasn’t the WISC, the two tests they conducted put him in the 99th percentile. Any child that the school is testing for a disability of some sort should be similarly tested.. [/quote]
