[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 38339, member: 1550"] the neuropsychologist gave me specific IQ tests targeting different areas. I've had more than one IQ test like this and it always comes out the same. A disparity of twenty points, with the verbal IQ higher is a NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD). In my case there was a forty point disparity and my life has been one long list of getting hired easily (I sound very intelligent and capable when I speak) and getting fired (I can't even assemble factory parts without becoming confused). Get that IQ test that dissects the differences. Your "one" IQ doesn't mean that much. You need to see if your child has a huge discrepancy in certain areas. I wouldn't let the school do it either--they missed the significance of these disparities in my son, who is on the autism spectrum. If you really CAN'T afford a neuropsychologist then I guess you're stuck with the SD, but try to find somebody who can analyze the results for you outside of the SD.
