I did the GAI indicator for his WIAT scores.
Significant discrepancies with a .01 are Reading Comprehension, Pseudo-word decoding, Numerical Operations and Spelling.
Reading is a -17 difference
Written Expression is a -20 difference |

| I am concerned about the lack of actual "remediation" help my son is getting from his school. He was diagnosed over the summer with Asperger's. He has always been atypical, but it wasn't until he entered middle school and was severely bullied that I stopped saying "he's just socially awkward" and st... |

| My daughter whines she doesn't get what she wants. She's only 2 though, so that's pretty normal. I expect she'll grow out of it if we don't give in too much. I'd never let a kid sleep over with someone whose parents I didn't know. Safety comes before social standing. I once arranged to have a girls... |

| Hello, I found this place because of Dr. Phil, of course. My 4 year old son doesn't have Asperger's. At least, I don't think he does. But he has been diagnosed with Semantic Pragmatic Disorder, which depending on who you ask either is or isn't an ASD. It has very similar manifestations, but if it i... |

| I'm going to make a clumsy effort to pull all this reading discussion together: whether or not there is reason to worry depends on the unique child. My son wasn't reading in first grade, but was doing enough for me to understand what the road blocks were, and get a solid sense that this was his dev... |

| I'd like to take this opportunity to remind people that the average IQ is around 100, and a VIQ of 108 is not below average. Nor is it unusual for a child to have trouble reading in 1st grade. I picked up reading quickly in Kindergarten, but I still witnessed a lot of my classmates struggling into ... |

| This reminds me of when the school stated my daughter had reciprocal social interactions because she completed a "high five" with the examiner. What six year old AS child can't do a "high five"?? :lol: I can only laugh now, at the time I was very confused! iamSuperMom I wanted to point you toward a... |

| When school says that having ASD is not, in and of itself, a basis for having an IEP, they are, theoretically correct. The ASD has to impact on a student's access to education. The thing is, how can it not? A student may not have difficulty learning a particular subject, but since education is more... |

| The first thing is: have you gotten a decent evaluation done? Since your children are being seen at MIND, if you have (or can get) reports that would be useful in getting appropriate supports for them in school, you should do so. School doesn't have to agree to everything you bring them, but they d... |

| It would help to know where you live, since different countries have different laws/systems, so how you would proceed would be different. It sounds like you have a lot to deal with, and the school district is not one that you can rely on. You will need more assistance, but what kind of assistance, ... |
