Iq 3 years old what that mean

[najatsss]

Hello there

I want to ask i make for my daughter a iq test
when she was 3 she make below 70 now she
is 3 and 9 mounth shes develop but i want to ask
about her future she didnt have any medical or
movment problem only the speech the languge
she didnt understand like her peers her mind
is like 2 or 2/1-2 now she is 3 and 9 mounth
what do you think about future ? her languge
is 2 and uderstanding vocablary like 2 but she
take me to the kicthen said egg and open the
fridge and take the egg and give it to me take
me to the playing room

[bros]

She could just have a delay in language development that may eventually resolve with speech therapy - IQ tests are very inaccurate in the very young and the nonverbal - so take those results with a grain of salt

Najatsss, can I ask which IQ test your daughter was given? For children with language difficulties, often "non-verbal IQ tests" such as the UNIT or C-TONI are given, but those are intended for children over age 5 or 6, NOT 3 years old.

As Bros has already stated, IQ test results of young children should NOT be considered as a reliable indication of how intelligent they are, or what their future holds. Is she receiving speech and language therapy now, through your local school district? That is very important, but also you should focus on doing everything you can to enrich her daily life...For example, when she mentioned egg, you could show her how to cook it, and talk about how it has a yellow part and a white part, and that eggs come from chickens, etc. Most young children have the capacity to learn and understand, even if they are not able to explain things using their own words.

Did they give you a written report with your daughter's evaluation scores? The name of the test should be on the report.
Is your daughter getting speech therapy now?

Hi najatsss,

IQ tests are not always reliable at a young age. I've seen some kids score very high when they were toddlers only to score lower at age 9 or 10 - and vice a versa! But, a low score can indicate a gap in development that may need attention.

Since your child is over 3 years old, she may be eligible for special education services through your local school district. If she qualifies, she could receive speech and language therapy, social skills training, occupational therapy or other services that would help her to catch up. Many school districts offer these therapies through pre-school programs.

Does your daughter get special education services through your school district on an IEP (individualized education program)? If not, you should send them a letter right away and ask for a full evaluation and a meeting to determine if she qualifies for special ed. Your letter could say something like:

Dear Special Education Director,

I am writing to request a full special education evaluation for my daughter, (name). I am very concerned with her language including her ability to understand and express herself. Her overall maturity and social interactions seem to be delayed over a year. She is behind her peers in self help and self care and sometimes becomes overly frustrated. I would like the evaluation to address all of this plus pre-academic skills. Please consider this letter my consent to evaluate. If I need to sign an evaluation form, please send it to me within the next 3 days so I can authorize the testing as soon as possible.

Daughter's name was tested in (give year). I am attaching the results of her testing as back ground information.

Please contact me about next steps for the evaluation. You can reach me at (write e-mail address) or (phone number)

Sincerely

Name


In the meantime, you can contact your state's Parent Information Center for information about the special education process and your rights. This link will help you to find the center that serves your state: (http://www.parentcenterhub.org/find-your-center/).

Here is an excellent article that will help you to understand how to get help: www.understood.org/en/school-learning/special-services/ieps/getting-an-iep-for-your-very-young-child

Best of luck.

najatsss, do you live in the U.S., and if so, which state? (We have members from Europe, Australia, and elsewhere. Everyone is welcome, but the type of services that are available are different in each place.) It is good that you are working with your daughter, but it might be even more helpful if she was also seeing a trained speech therapist. Have you asked her pediatrician about her speech and other developmental delays?

She can catch up.

When I was 3, my parents couldn't understand a word I said, most of the time. I would mostly grunt and yell - I gave my parents many black eyes.

I was tested and they said that I was 50% or more globally developmentally delayed - At most, my abilities with some things were like an 18 month old. With some, it was like a 12 or 14 month old.

However, with a lot of help - speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and a great special education teacher in a good classroom - I caught up for the most part.

Try to have her engage you - maybe sit somewhere where you can see her, and ask her to bring you something (Name it). Use very simple sentences, they don't even need to sound correct, it could be something like "[Name], bring barbie."

One thing that helped a lot with me was my parents read to me every single night before I went to bed. They read to me, they would show it to me and point to the words while reading them.

Najatss,

Living overseas must be very difficult. Is there an expat organization where parents can ask questions and exchange information? Or, is there a school for expat children where there might be a knowledgeable professional? 

My son's first evaluation at 9 years old showed a low average IQ, but three years later it was tested to be in the high average range. As others have told you IQ scores, especially with a very young child, can change.

In the meantime, please read what I posted a while ago. 

"In the article I found (full title - The Art and Science of Testing: Why Assessing a Child Is Not Child’s Play) on the Yale Center for Dyslexia and Creativity website, a mother, who is also a professional, offers the following recommendation:  

... trust what you know about your child. No matter how qualified the practitioner, or how carefully the testing was done, the results are based on tests that are not perfect, in a situation that may not be optimal. The results are good guides, and often very helpful in finding reasons for things you may be seeing at home or at school. But if they tell you something that does not make sense to you, they may be wrong. Tests are designed to predict or reflect reality. If they do not match reality, it is not sensible to say that reality is wrong. 

It's an informative article worth reading:"  

dyslexia.yale.edu/evaluator.html

Were you with your child when she was tested? Do you know how she was tested?

The important point is to keep working with the speech therapist; ask for suggestions of what you can do at home; and as bros has said, interact with her and read to her; have others talk and play with her.

I think the test name stanford something

[healthy11]

Najatsss, although your daughter may say "mickey mouse tiger snake together with out any sense" and ask the same questions again and again, I agree that it is good she is trying to talk.

I have a new neighbor, and that family has a daughter who is about 2, and the only words I can understand from her are "Bye" and "Ball" and "No." The girl does not say words together. The mother has said that their pediatrician is aware of her daughter's delays, but said the best thing at these young ages is to do exactly what you are doing...talk to her and play with her a lot, try to read books and explain what is happening when you do things together (like cooking the egg before she eats it.)

I am unclear if your daughter will resume speech therapy with the man after summer holiday, or if she will receive any speech therapy at nursery school, but it is important that she continues. Another resource might be online therapy...I do not have personal experience with it, but you might check places like www.speechbuddy.com/blog/games-and-activities/6-free-online-speech-therapy-resources/

you mean you become normal at age 8 with your peers

[healthy11]

najatsss,
I remember when my son was young, and I was trying to learn everything that I could about his difficulties. One of the first things I realized is that everyone is different, and other parents reminded me there is no such thing as "normal." Even two children without learning delays may have very different abilities, but that does not mean one is normal and the other is not. Instead of thinking that any child is not normal, people advised me to talk about "typical" development.

For example, when my son was age 4 or 5, he spoke okay, but he did not like to sit with me to look at books, or to use crayons. He was interested in the way things worked, however. I remember once when we went to a store, and there was a man repairing a broken escalator, and my son was happy to stand and watch that for a long time. My son did not act like a "typical" preschool child, but it was not a problem until he got to kindergarten. Then, the teacher expected children to be able to sit quietly at times, but my son always wanted to move around and talk. That is when we decided to have him tested, and we were told that he had "difficulty paying attention." They also said that children who had good vocabularies usually were able to start to read and write, but again, my son did not exhibit typical development. He talked fine, but he had difficulty trying to "sound out words" or print A,B,C's.

Again, what other parents reminded me is that almost all children can learn, but some learn at different ages and have to be taught in different ways. That is when we decided to find a tutor to give our son more individual practice. He still has ADHD (attention deficit) but he eventually learned to read. It takes him more time, and his handwriting and spelling have never been as good as his peers, but since computers are now commonly used, he is able to function well enough. There were times I worried he would never finish school, but he graduated from a university, and works as an engineer.

No one can tell for certain what the future will be, but try not to be discouraged. Something I probably should have asked before, is whether your daughter has ever had an audiologist evaluate her? They can test for more than ordinary hearing, including for how well she processes the sounds that she hears. Sometimes, children have speech and language issues that are a result of auditory difficulties. That would be important to find out.
