[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does a parent know their child on the spectrum is a genius if testing and academic performance indicate otherwise?[/quote] A nonverbal child is going to test as mentally retarded on a traditional IQ test. But there are non-verbal IQ tests like the Leiter and the Toni, that give a clearer picture of IQ. My special needs child is not a "genius" but he's not MR, either, even though he tests that way on a traditional IQ test. [/quote] How come the results of those tests aren't provided to schools when the parents feel they need the IEP team to know about the genius IQ of the child?[/quote] I would imagine in most cases they are. But school personnel aren't very apt at interpreting them. Hence, the "educator" on this thread bitching about "genius" children. Most the SN parents I know just what their child to be respected for the intelligence they have -- and many special needs kids are not. [/quote]
