My kid got bored after a full day of testing by a bunch of different strangers and his evaluation results reflected that. The head evaluator, a PhD, didn't even catch what was obvious to me. Early in the day, his assessors reported him to be neurotypical. Testers who worked with him toward the end of the day reported him to be "highly autistic". The end result was that I was given an expensive eval that left me more confused than ever. He was four years old at the time.rubyinparadisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00153963771801739703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534665086749553287.post-44173705261154273812020-09-24T09:08:37.892-04:002020-09-24T09:08:37.892-04:00Or its that the school teaches them to rely on vis...Or its that the school teaches them to rely on visual aids (younger kids) like a number grid and spend a week just starting multiplication of simple nunbers then they take this test and its 16 x ? = 32 and theyre flipping lost cuz they have to figure it out in their head. So after a few like that the kid is either emotionally having a meltdown feeling stupid or gives up thinks this is bs and just fills in random numbers to move on with their life.
