[QUOTE="Superpsy, post: 246561, member: 5848"] As I see it you may just want to respond to the school psychiatric's questions about what tests your son was given. There is no need for them to see a report that is inaccurate. Global Assessment of Functioning is just what I like to call a "summary number." The DSM-IV-TR (psychiatric manual) has a scale that runs from 0-100 that allows clinicians to estimate a person's level of functioning (adaptability, social & psychological functioning). My DSM is not close-by but I think 50 is at the higher functioning end of the moderate symptom/impairment range...that is if he used the Children's Global Assessment Scale. [/QUOTE]
