[QUOTE="keepongoing, post: 417405"] Young kids are very hard to test and most scales are not that reliable.They also said that they determind his verbal sore by spontanious language. Since they make a point of mentioning this it probably means that this is not really how this test is supposed to be administered. Which would make a big big difference in scoring. I think what they are saying in the last sentence is that his non-verbal language is significantly ahead of his verbal skills .95% of kids taking this test did not have such a large difference in scores between verbal and non-verbal. That is more than two standard deviations and in most tests two standard deviation determines the cut-off for a disability. I cautiously agree with others about not being too worried.However -I would not be surprised if they offer you some early intervention services which would likely be some enrichment in an early childhood setting or/and some speech services. I would take them. No typical kid at that age has ever been hurt by getting extra but a kid that might lag behind can be hurt by not getting early intervention. Since you feel your older child has received great services I think your younger could only benefit wether he has delays or not. And you will get ongoing feedback from teachers on whether there really is something to worry about. [/QUOTE]
