I claimed to have had my daughter given a test. That is all I claimed. I even said I didn't know which tests were used. How much clearer do I need to be? I am not a specialist!

No, you aren't. You also claimed that your daughter tested above average in I.Q. but do not seem to know the range that would put her in that category. Test results are reported in DIQ, which is a number, not a worded description. If you don't know the ranges, then you cannot interpret the number.
 
Off to bed. Glad we end on a high note!! :wave:

I know what I was told and what I read in the report 8 months ago. As, I said before I was willing to give the tests used but the scores will not be disclosed. It is not anyone's buisness.

I don't care what you think. Believe she has an IQ of 45 for all I care.

And what range and percentile would that fall into? You will tell us she is "above average" but you will not give the number? Again, the claims with no support. But if she is indeed above average, I can venture a pretty accurate guess as to the number, so we really don't need it at all.
 
faire_jour,

What do you mean by the fact that you were willing to give the tests "used?"
 
1) I will NEVER be in tune. Jillio will just hear me sing for 2 seconds before blurting out "EPIC FAIL."
2) Shave my head!? NEVER!!!!! Mohawk? maybe...
3) Can I be one of those cool rock singers who scream a lot, mumble incoherantly, and jump around a lot?
4) I am NOT a Spears fan dammit!!! (Although I found the "Toxic" music video ever so slightly cool... sigh.. I'm a closet fan, aren't I?)

Good night all ;) Thanks for a great thread!

I believe she is referring to the types and names of the assessments used that I requested earlier. That would provide some very interesting information.

Of course. :ty: for the clarification. It's late and I'm not thinking clearly.

That's what they make ear plugs for! My son couldn't carry a tune in a bucket, either, but he loved to sing!:giggle:

Talk to you tomorrow, DD.

And you can only be #3 if you do a truck load of drugs! LOL.
 
Figured someone would tell me if there were any oral state schools.

Just to correct this. There are no oral state schools.....but there are Schools for the Deaf that have oral programs. Make sense now?
Faire_joure..........I hope I can be honest here. I know you have the best of intentions.....BUT I think you've been sucked into the thinking that you need to go all "stereotypical AG Bell family" with your daughter in order to get the most benifit from CI. That's understandable. Completely understandable. A lot of the pro oral and pro AVT stuff makes it sound like if a kid isn't in an intense program, they won't do as well as someone who isn't in that sort of program.
But what I think you're not quite understanding is that many of the kids who are VERY sucessful orally, are the oral version of those kids who are basicly "professional children" or they come from families where it's expected that they'll go to Name Brand University and become some high powered type.
You know.....the overprogrammed suburban type? And yes, Rick48 I know you don't think that....I know you're going to post about how most of the families you know through AG Bell are just average folks. All I can say is that you really are not reconizing your class privilage. I bet that the percentage of non upper middle class types in AG Bell is very small. Not saying that the input from a CI or HA isn't important......b/c it is. But quite a bit of the "oral sucess" seen in AG Bell isn't nessarily due to methodology......but rather that the demographic which can be overlly represented in the group tends to be very pro overprogramming children for sucess in life. I'm not bashing that lifestyle.......just saying that it does seem like a lot of the "sucess" may be due to the fact that it attracts families that view normal enrichement/extracurriculars as something that gives their kid an "edge"
As long as you have your kid in some sort of regular therapy with a qualified therapist she will develop oral abilty....She does not need to be in therapy 24/7. Give her time to be kid.....she'll pick up stuff without it being taught to her, just the way hoh kids do.
