[QUOTE="witzend, post: 199305, member: 99"] Lucy, I think it would be helpful for you to understand what the "scale" is, as in what is "within the range of normal scores"? If a child who does not test for ADHD in the CBCL problem test is 80, then 90 isn't so bad. On the other hand if that child would test at 20, then 90 is a real problem. CBCL is the "Child Behavior Checklist". I assume from the score, that the tester gave your difficult child a set of problems to deal with and looked for reactive behaviors. The question being does 90 mean he dealt well or horribly with the problems? This just means that there were several factors included in the final score of this part of the test, including "inattention". You could look at it as a fraction 5/5 if there is inattention and four other parts considered. Inattention being 1/5 of the total score which is then averaged out. Like 4.0 being a perfect gpa even though you have 7 classes. It sounds like the "Auditory working memory disorder" is a very good diagnosis, as it could be a factor in getting him help with an aid in an IEP. It means that he requires visual cues to remember what his task is. Hopefully that will be something they can work on. Also, the not otherwise specified on depression could be good. That means it could be situational and could get better with the right school/play environment. I imagine he probably feels like he doesn't fit in. That is enough to depress most anyone! Good luck and keep talking to the therapist. Ask for information on what "the scale" is that they are working with. [/QUOTE]
