The school district denied the evaluation at that time; their response was sent cia certified mail. At every meeting we have requested an evaluation; it is documented, and at ev... |

| Thank you for your replies. I have been doing more research into this and my dad sent me a great link about an article. Both of these tests are IQ, but the Wechsler one requires the use of language more than the Raven, which requires visualization. This would explain why my son did so much better on... |
