[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 5521, member: 23"] You mentioned that your daughter hasn't been evaluated outside the sd since she was 4 yrs old. I'd want her reevaluated to see where she is today -- taking a real hard look at subtest scores and getting additional testing in weak areas, if warranted. If you can afford private schooling, I'd certainly look into it. BUT, I'd still want her reevaluated first. Why? Identifying the cause helps develop the appropriate treatment. Otherwise, a lot of "guessing" can go on. No use treating a broken left arm, when in fact, it's the right arm that needs the treatment. lol [url]https://web.archive.org/web/20060509132159/http://alpha.fdu.edu/psychology/[/url] has a lot of test instrument information. If you'll look on the left-hand side of the page, you'll find links to specific tests, test reviews, etc. See the Changes in the Composition of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, Fourth Edition chart at [url]https://web.archive.org/web/20130123010447/http://alpha.fdu.edu/psychology/melissa_farrall_WISCIV.htm[/url] for subtest scores which tenders the PSI. I don't know how comparable the subtest scores between WISC III and WISC IV are, but it's amazing what you can find using the first testing as a benchmark. I don't think all the tests were changed, but I can't recall any specifics. [/QUOTE]
