Guest guest Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 was tested at school as part of the reevaluation and it was a good thing that they did it because for us to qualify for more waivered services (more money in the budget) it needed to be done. SSI likes it, even though they didn't need it, they just felt sorry for me when I told them the number. When the school needs to do it again, I will have them do it again just to see if there has been any progress or not. Plus they tailored to test to what can and can't do. testing {soap box}I feel strongly that the school should NEVER be allowed to IQ test. It's a number on a page that people use to judge others. I believe that IQ is not predictive of outcome. There are so many other factors, like determination and effort, that make a big difference and can't be evaluted in some blasted test. grrr{/soap box} I understand and agree with this idea BUT.....you will have to have an IQ when you want waiver services and SSI. Be careful. I would let them do it periodically BUT never let a school use the score for placement decisions. Kathy Everett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Schools should never be allowed to IQ test - I'm right there with this 100%. Waiver services are completely different. was given an intelligence test for waiver eligibility - but by a private psychologist and not the school system. I did give the school a copy, but I redacted all the scores. When I passed it out at a meeting, the first thing the school system did was try to find the scores. When they asked where it was, I told them " ';s IQ is not needed for his eligibility, he is not a number. The exact reason why I redacted it was because I do not want anyone to label him by the number " . Well, that was part of the reason. These tests are verbally based, our kids play the game but more importantly, the score can be used to deny speech services. testing {soap box}I feel strongly that the school should NEVER be allowed to IQ test.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 I haven't given Nick's IQ test (from Waiver) to the school.? When the school system tested him they put him in the Moderately Mentally Impaired classification while Valley's IQ test (3 years later for Waiver) put him in the Mildly Mentally Impaired range.? It was recommended to me not to allow the school access to the Waiver testing because the school would probably use it to eliminate needed services.? With Nick he is all over the place in his abilities (and he isn't consistent at any of them).? Basically, Nick can be 15 one minute and 2 the next or anywhere in between at any given moment.? The last IQ testing the school was to do I told them specifically that the score was not to be released to the teaching staff that they could receive a narrative of what he could do based on the test but not a score because I firmly believe the score will be used to pigeon hole him and that is not acceptable.? They agreed with me, but I've never followed up to see if they followed through, perhaps I should. Cari Re: testing Schools should never be allowed to IQ test - I'm right there with this 100%.

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Dr. Grim's questions; 1. How many times did you need to pee during the saline suppression test? How much total did you pee. This is a poor man's (Drs) way to suggest that your have PA. If urine volume out is the same as (say at least 1000 cc) you have PA. Assume you got 2 liters of NS? At least that is what I have used over 1000 times. Y 2. Based on your drug resistance, you renin and aldo and K and clinical Hx you have PA. Has a 24 hr urine ever been done.? 3. Did either of your parents have low K? Trust you have read my artiucle and taken to your Dr. . next would be a trial of spiro if you don't have an adrenal bump. Keep us posted. Clarence E.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Are there any such results for Gypsies? My gt. grandfather was from the german gypsy tribe known as the "Black Dutch". I also have Norse, Czech, Bavarian and British ancestry (Plymouth Colony). Since there was a lot of intermarriage in the colony, could that have been a factor? (even as late as 3 generations ago, my great grandfather had only 6 great grandparents, rather than the customary 8). Bindner >Saw my endocrinologist on Friday for Salt Suppression test.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 You can go to the NIH family history site and do a pedigree as much as you can on age and causes of death as far back as you can go. Inbreeding increase likelyhood of certain genetic disorders. A pedigree will help. There are some rare inherited forms of PA and they are discussed in my article in the files.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 I know that we just had triennial review and there was a testing plan with all the possible tests, and the ones they were going to administer were checked off, and noted by whom they were requested by. We had to sign this, and then when more people jumped on the bandwagon and wanted to do additional/different testing, we had to sign an ammended testing plan sheet. I would assume that the same is true for any official assessment. , mom to (15) (13 DS) and Sammy (11) On 5/19/2011 3:23 PM, Loree5@... wrote: > > I just got a copy of Micahs IEP for next year and find out that there > was testing done on him for articulation and the peabody picture > vocabulary test.?

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 By law, they have to have to have your signature to test. Ask to see the document that gave your permission to test. When they can't produce it, you 'have' them. This would like a medical facility drawing blood or some other invasive procedure on a minor without permission.
