I think my last post got lost in my former thread so I am going to repost.
I've registered my son for school this week-for second grade! I really felt in my gut that was the right thing to do. My DH didn't totally agree, but didn't give me any flack for it, but my son's father chewed my a new one. My son's tutor felt that he has made progress and that if his teacher keeps the communication open with her with weekly emails that things will be fine. He's slated to go 2 times a week for tutoring at 1.5 hr. session each.
I met with our psych. to have her go over the evals again with me so I could get a better understanding of what was done. Not sure I fully understand, but here is the breakdown of what was given on the WISC-IV test:
Verbal Comprehension Subtest
Similiarites-8
Vocabulary-9
Comprehension-8
Working Memory Subtest
Digit Span- 9
Letter-number sequencing-9
Perceptual Reasoning
Block Design-10
Picture Concepts-11
Matrix Reasoning-8
Processing Speed Subtest
Coding-9
Symbol Search-7
Composite
Verbal Comprehension, Score 91, Percentile Rank 27
Perceptual Reasoning, Score 98, Percentile Rank 45
Working Memory, Score 94, Percentile Rank 94
Processing Speed, Score 88, Percentile Rank 88
Full Scale IQ-90
Does this look familiar to anyone? There was also some scores from the WIAT-II and the ones that he scored low (under grade level) was Pseudoword Decoding and written expression.
All in all she suggested that I meet with the teacher the first week of school and communicate with him how we need to work together to make it the best year possible for Cole. That is sooo important; especially after last year! She also would not rule out the dyslexia and thought that we should pursue more testing on down the road as he is learning the written expression and language stuff at school. With him not having much exposure to it yet, it is hard to determine so far.
I also met with the Special Ed Admin. today and she echoed what the Psych. said. We are going to hold off on testing and are going to put the ball back in the school's court and see what kind of accomodations can be made for my son, informal or with a 504 plan. She looked through his file and said she couldn't see why his teacher recommended he be retained!! I'm so glad I didn't follow that teacher's recommendation.
School starts next week. I just need to get the meds straightened out now.
