Haha. About blobbi, she definitely know what I am talking about. We cross path in certain thread. I simply put two into two together.

En, not sure what you mean. You mean can tell meh? I very discreet, I thot. But he kena label till headspin. His current school teacher says I should check out his ears, which I haven't done cos CAPD can only be checked at 7yo. Xian. Btw, every diagnosis means :moneyflies: . Plus where got time to go for therapy? Already doing eyes, now handwriting ... Got 24hrs per day only wor. Actually, I'm not gonna bother with this bit till there is conclusive evidence of problems.

[/quote]Blobbi, use the MOE EP. Free of charge. They'll definitely give you the service, but must wait wan hor.

You need an OT? Can recommend you one.

For EG, his education plan is different from the rest so I guess classmates and teachers can't help noticing.

How does he feel about the labeling? positive or negative ones?

Teachers assigned to teach EG... should train these teachers to be discreet & not make an EG child uncomfortable

IF I recall correctly, a delta of 19 & above between any of the categories is considered wide variance and would rendered FSI uninterpretable.

Don't ask me why 19 though :lol:

Your ds 4 categories IQ score, how wide is the variance?

Don't know leh, I misplaced that report already... But if the highest is 19, then how can the variance be 19? Highest was 19 and the visual thingy he was slightly above average, don't know the score already :?

Yup. Highest is 19. But I remember the difference must be greater than 3 standard deviations in order to invoke the GAI.

The individual categories, never even looked cos so tired liao after that. Me I mean. Not my son. :lol:

Sleepy, did you get the PM?

He doesn't know of any labeling !! But he knows he needs more. Keep asking me to cho cho his teacher for \"different work\". Actually, his tests with MOE are just concluded cos he refused to do some last year :lol:, so the differentiation hasn't started. They told me he needed to go to school to learn \"how to follow instructions\". :lol:

About the teachers ... I need to be PC when I say :P.

Yes, received your PM


Variance referring to individual catergory IQ score. Say for example VSI 140, PRI 120, then delta > 19, cannot calculate FSI.

You are right 19 is the highest for scaled score. But this is not the same as individual category score. Confusing hor :lol:

Never mind lah, what's important is we are happy with our kids


IQ report is for MOE only

Nope, only got OT for ears or hearing.

I went to the attic to dig out DS's IQ report in the dust. You are right, the FSIQ was not stated, and yes the differential was more than 19. But I clearly remember there was a one-sheet thingy that the psychologist gave, prior to the full report, and that one had a FSIQ in it. I lost that one already.

Thanks for enlightening.
