I think scores should be required, period.

The "doesn't test well" is a myth. My son with special needs didn't test well until we got him diagnosed, taught him organizational skills and half-medicated (he couldn't take the optimal dose of meds due to medical concerns, but a little was better than nothing).

This is YOUR child's experience. I would wager not the norm for other kids with special needs. I want MY child to have the choice to test and decide if the scores are worth reporting not some misinformed parents making a case or schools deciding if they truly understand my kid's accommodations.

It's stunning when an adult has an experience and comes to dcum to proclaim that all people have that experience. How dumb can one be? My kid has special needs, was diagnosed young, has worked with executive functioning coaches forever and still struggles with test taking despite being brilliant. Nah, can't happen says prior poster who is clearly an expert in disabilities.

Attempting to ask this question as considerately as possible: How do you assess / determine / measure the kid’s brilliance without a standardized test?[/quote]
