[QUOTE="buddy, post: 481427, member: 12886"] Sure, it just has been so relevant to many children I work with and of course my own son that I have done some extra thinking and education about it. Certainly not an IQ expert, but I am interested. The language testing pretty much sounds like it supports what you are finding right? What is interesting to me... I have never once in a report (nor any of the people in settings where I have worked) put age equivalents (unless those were required norms to use, very rare) nor grade equivalents. Did we discuss them informally? of course. But never have written them down. I guess it is for many of the standardized testing concerns discussed before.... including that some people may limit a child or treat them at that age/grade. Where I come from we usually use percentiles (comparing to same age peers). I know some psychologists who put every kind of score, that is just overkill to me, lol. Just interesting how different places do different things. Of course, there is absolutely nothing wrong with age norms at all. It all comes from the same standard scores. And, I think it can be really helpful in some ways because it is something really relate-able ( we can guess how much a child of 5 versus a child of 11 would understand... so expectations can be adjusted). How did you feel about the results. Do you think it reflects real life? Sounds like the discrepancy supports your overall view of things. ??? [/QUOTE]
