We did an IQ and Skill (re)assessment of DS over the last month. His IQ, although has come down, is normal range; and the Doc believed that if he had the motivation to complete a few, he would actually be better off.
But the best part for us was this: Doc had done the skill assessment on him - reading comprehension, arithmetic, reading, spelling, writing etc - The tests were:
- Weschlers' Intelligence Scale for Children III edition
- Weschlers Objective reading dimensions (WORD)
- Weschers' objective Numerical dimesnions (WOND)
- Weschlers' objective language dimensions (WOLD)
- Diagnostic interview for social and comm disorders (DISCO 10)
Although he did very little at school over the last couple of years, his skills were closer to his age-group - a year or so less max. Except his writing, which was like 4-5yr old. I think that is due to his SI issues...
DW, who was tense before the assessment, is all smiles and I think that would remain on for a while :)
It helps us keep the faith in the path we have chosen -
- Part-time schooling
- RDI
- Enki
- SI
- GFCF kind of diet
I believe, these help build the foundation and creating neurological pathways for him - creating the functions; and the actual schooling and skill building can come later; i've no issues with that at all !!! This is a good milestone - to look back with satisfaction; and look forward for more work ahead.
