[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 83348, member: 23"] AYP has to do with how well the school is doing overall in educating their students. It doesn't have anything to do with an individual student's progress. There are tons of different test instruments. The test results you posted reflect that your son gained 1.5 yrs from 2005 to 2006. Is this adequate? I don't know. There are so many things that would have to be factored in. It's very encouraging however. If you can swing it, get a private evaluation -- at the minimum the general psychoed evaluation + indepth math Learning Disability (LD) testing. Tutoring may be just what your difficult child needs, but it's my understanding that NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) can involve things like problematic visual motor skills (other motor skills also). This type problem can interfer with math ability/performance. There's often treatment for visual motor deficits. Successful treatment may improve math capabilities. Visual motor skills may not apply to your child -- it's just an example, but a math disability or NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) is too broad a term to develop a good IEP in my opinion. difficult child's willingness to learn is a real plus. Fingers crossed it continues. It is frustrating. And I agree, changing test instruments makes it difficult to compare apples to apples and oranges to oranges. [/QUOTE]
