[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 462834, member: 11791"] I wouldn't put too much stock in the "IQ" rating... at this age, its not cast in stone; the important statement there is that he is of "normal intellegence". The colors issue... keep an eye on this. In particular... it could be related to working memory - depending on what stage in the testing that particular set of tasks came, he could have been mentally tired, or his brain "full" already - and so had difficulty with recall - especially if you don't see the issue consistently. OR, it could be auditory-processing related. It will be at least 2 or 3 years before there can be enough evidence to pursue either of those as possibilities. Just keep an eye out for these sorts of things, maybe start a log. Neither issue is life-shattering, just need to know how to accommodate. The "constructing" issue - I'm not sure what the tasks were here, compared to the grapho-motor component - but sometimes, a "constructing" issue can be related to neuro-motor difficulties. Again, its not something obvious, and may just be uneven development, too. Nothing to worry about or do anything about at this stage. Part of the testing process is just to see how he handles the testing process. Those observations are at least as important as the results. Had there been something really significant going on - such as Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) - the examiner would likely have noticed. <tongue in cheek now> If you could make it to North America at all, you can get around the language barrier by coming to Quebec for testing...! More seriously - testing at this age is limited anyway. Our dxes were not based on testing at that age (confirmation came later), but on in-class observation by a behavior specialist - which you don't have access to either. <sigh> And they won't be testing for mental illnesses at this age no matter where you are. None of which helps you know how to deal with him right now. Nor how to get the school to help either. {{hugs}} <knowing smile> [/QUOTE]
