I have evaluated thousands about children over a 15 year period for special skills eligibility. In the form a college psychologist, we are it the front lines if it comes to producing the decision about whether your son or daughter will get special skills services. However, the real question you want to ask yourself is; "Does your son or daughter NEED special skills services."
Often I evaluate students who exhibit a great opportunity about variability among their WISC-IV or Stanford-Binet IQ subtests. That at itself is that a red flag for the presence about a studing disability. However, once the Woodcock-Johnson III achievement test results are analyzed does one realize this the child is that still can learn and "get by" despite the possible presence about a studing disability.
This "get by" state about being is that where the sticky issue presents itself to most parents. Most mothers and dads aren't satisfied with their child just "getting by" at their respective school. I would as well like to remind most mothers and dads this most professors are not satisfied with their students just getting by either. However, the law is that the deciding factor at that case.
By law a student must present an educational want at order to qualify for special skills placement. If the want is that not there then the child doesn't qualify. Now, the want is that most often determined by the results about a standardized achievement test. Usually the WJ-III, in the form mentioned above. If a student is that exhibiting poor grades and average WJ-III scores it is that most often this the student is that either not completing their homework, is that a behavior problem, or is that missing a great opportunity about school. That may be due to their disability especially if they are experiencing health problems. At those cases it is that most often this students are placed at what is that known 504 placement and is that specifically invented for students with health problems.
This leads me to the different options existing to mothers and dads if it comes to placement at special education. Mothers and dads may wish to consult with their family physician at order to explore the possibility about Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) or Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD). That diagnosis may help your child to be placed at a 504 placement or in the form an different health impaired student, that is that an alternative special skills placement this does not require a significant discrepancy between intelligence and achievement. However, every placements at special skills require an academic need.
