[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 520756, member: 3493"] I am so thankful to be a part of this board, which I have been in various incarnations since Thanksgiving night 1999 when I found it in a desperate search to figure out why my 5 year old was being suspended from K. The moms here are amazing and I have learned so much. My dream when I retire is to be a parent advocate so it made me sad that it took so long to pick up on my own son's issues. Ironically, years ago I read an article which said that the younger sibling of a dyslexic is more likely to be left handed and to have some degree of dyslexia. Bb is my only lefty out of 5 and H and I are also both righties, although easy child and I both have some ambidextrous areas. Buddy - The 107 is a low estimate for him, although it is in the average to high average range overall. easy child has a 109 but the other 3 are all well over 130. When I got his report this time, the IQ did trigger me but I really just thought it was that bb isn't bright. I did notice the subscores but I have been so busy with my aunt, my daughter and my own surgery yesterday that I didn't dissect them the way I usually do. I didn't even compare them to his last scores, which I usually do. I am very lucky that the school psychologist cares about bb and raised the issue. I am lucky to have good resources and a good education. I was speaking with one of the nurses yesterday who also has a dyslexic son and we were saying how sad it is for kids who don't have parents who are able to advocate for them. I have helped friends evaluate their reports and made suggestions for them. I don't attend meetings because I have my own kids to worry about but when they graduate and I retire I plan to get more involved. I have actually talked with 2 of my friends, one a social worker and the other a lawyer whose fight for her profoundly autistic son has inspired me, about working together as an advocacy group. My sw friend can help come up with strategies and interventions and my friend and I can use our litigation skills to advocate. It's 10 years in the future but it's my dream - winning mega millions would have expedited it, lol! My best success story is a family friend whose son was having trouble in middle school, very ADHD, unfocused, acting out and because he was 6' tall in 7th grade, expected to be so much more mature. When he was in 8th grade, his sd wanted to put him in self-contained for HS. I reviewed his paperwork and suggested that they ask that he be sent to the same out of district placement that my oldest son was in.
