[QUOTE="Martie, post: 147004, member: 284"] There are a lot of ways to manipulate IQ scores. All attempt to discriminate against minority children less than they used to. I would ask for your child to be tested on the same instrument that has been used previously. That would provide a more valid comparison Here is my NOT quotable opinion of the three most often used IQ tests: Stanford-Binet: Heavily verbally load so more likely to produce low scores in children with subtle language based LDs Weschler series: Has both performance and verbal parts so it is a better assessment for children who strengths are not language based. Woodcock-Johnson: Has some novel reasoning tasks but may produce "odd" results for some students. There are "brief" assessments available, and if IQ is an issue for some reason, I do not think a 10 minutes screening instrument is appropriate. Martie [/QUOTE]
