Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 I have an 8 year old boy (Aspergers) in first grade in public school. We see a private Speech Therapist who has diagnosed Dyslexia. I requested screening for " dyslexia and all related disorders " as well as the ABLLS-R so we can see where the holes might be and come up with some academic goals for his IEP (He has one annual goal with 6 benchmarks, all behavior related.) At first, his teacher said he was too verbal for the ABLLS, that he was way beyond what it would show. I told her it was my understanding that there was reading and math on there also. A date was set for the ARD to discuss the Dyslexia testing - no mention of the ABLLS-R. Today I got an email that she is finishing up the ABLLS so I can look at it prior to the ARD. I thought administering the ABBLS required certain training? Is it not consider to be a formal diagnostic test? Debbie A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
