[QUOTE="mistmouse, post: 13466, member: 289"] Thanks Martie, I do wish they would have just done the WISC-IV, especially in light of my reasons for the re-evaluation, and since that would have given me a comparison with how she tested initially. I can't find the initial evaluation since I have notebooks from the various years, as well as things that were disorganized when I provided everything to the attorney when we went to due process the first time. I do remember on the WISC although my daughter did end up with a FSIQ of 136, her nonverbal IQ was 144. I also remember that her subtests were anywhere from a 9 to a 19, but I was told this wasn't significant by the SD, and it was early into my own research regarding things. Later I was told it just indicated her ADHD. What I am trying to find out is if this can be causing some of her anxieties, and if so how and what do we do about it? Right now in our area she is still in elementary school being in sixth grade, but she goes to junior high next year. What will I need to ask for in regards to having her verbal memory evaluated thoroughly to try to figure out what is working for her or not? Do I just tell them that I would like further testing as I am concerned about the big difference in verbal and nonverbal memory? The IEP meeting is to discuss the evaluations done, both the re-evaluation the school did, as well as the Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation requested for the umpteenth time. I am not confident that will yield the results desired either, because rather than focusing on whether my daughter is behind age equivalent or grade equivalent on visual/motor, it seems the Occupational Therapist (OT) is more focused on recommendations regarding modifications and accommodations as he says that at her age there is little that Occupational Therapist (OT) can do. I of course want the numbers since I have been saying since second grade that she has visual/motor deficits. I guess I just want to be sure that none of this is a cause to some of the behaviors my daughter has, or is the cause of her anxieties, which we know are predominantly school related. Thank you for your detailed information. I will keep plugging along trying to figure out what is going on and trying to help my daughter to be as successful as possible, but it sure as heck would be nice if the SD were helping instead of hindering. mistmouse [/QUOTE]
