[QUOTE="gabby, post: 128938, member: 4736"] The evaluation does have scores. But it doesn't have something like - dyslexia. His word reading score was 75. I expected that - but is it because of phonics, trouble decoding - I want to know why. for example - he can be presented with the word "basketball" and he'll read "balloon" but why? Am I failing to get this or do they not tell you why? Math he is only able to successfully solve basic addition/subtraction. And I want to know why. Is this all related to his processing speed? he scored only 70. Why aren't they telling me this? If I can't fiure out where he is having trouble /and/ why - how am I going to be able to help him. They say he learns best visually and auditorily - but that still poses an issue because of retention and short term memory problems. Maybe I'm wrong in wanting to know the exactly what is going on. I'm not even going to pursue the how come this happened questions the SD is raising - they want a neuro evaluation to see if the abuse with his bio parents caused this. But realistically that isn't going to solve what's happening right now. I can determine the why's and how comes later. My mindset is this: as a nurse if I have a patient with shortness of breath it's determined why before it's treated, because the course of treatment for a collapsed lung will be different that a patient with asthma. Is this not what they do with Learning Disability (LD)'s? I faxed all of his results to the advocate - the IEP is on Wed at 10, but she couldn't get me in to meet with her until 9 on Wed. So I have my list of questions and expectations ready for the team. I have been trying to compare the current results with the results from 2005 - and it would figure that the 2 psychologists used some different tests. God. I feel so lost. [/QUOTE]
