[QUOTE="Janna, post: 245415, member: 2737"] The problem with this, it sounds like, is they did basic IQ testing (WISC maybe?) and came up with an overall IQ score. From that, they are possibly giving the indication for the MR diagnosis? D's IQ score came back a very low 72. That's borderline MR. But, it came back that way because when they tested him, he didn't *want* to do the work. His ADHD was in high gear, he was manic - whatever it was. So, it may make him *look* to be almost MR, but he's not even close. There can be big differences between developmental delays, learning delays, learning disabilities and MR. Also, I've never taken a school psychologists diagnosis for anything. In fact, all of the testing/placements we've done for D in school have all been the IQ/learning type stuff, because both psychologists made it very clear D was "completely out of the area of their expertise" - and we had to get psychiatric evaluations/referrals for what we need with the Axis I on it. Yeah, I'd definately do the neuro but that's just me. I'd be surprised if SSI gave disability based on the school. [/QUOTE]
