I am sooooooooooooooooooooo happy!!!!!
Turns out, my daughter's achievement is way beyond where they would have expected based on her learning disability that she does indeed have!!!
To be specific...her scores for achievement went from above average to very superior (highest catagory) but her IQ and other testing in the other areas ranged from above average to borderline (which is beneath low). There was one exception in that her nonverbal IQ score was in the very superior range, but still much lower than her math achievement level.
I know it is silly to be excited about a learning disability...but you know what this means????????????????????????????????????????????? ???
She never would have gotten to where she is today...without HOMESCHOOLING!!!!!
yay!!!!!! Just when I was really questioning myself!!! Just when...
You just would not believe the psychologist talking to me and explaining how shocking the high achievement scores were compared to the other scores. And some of her processing and visual memory scores were sooo low. One score was so low, if all her scores had been that low, (scores are averaged so she is not) then she would be in the mentally "retarded" (not a word I use, but I did not know how to otherwise explain this) range..which is not the word for it anymore..it is called "very low."
