Hi everyone, I found this site when I searched online for a specific sentence. That exact sentence was in Amy's posting. I'm a parent of a deaf child. I am...
Thanks Patty, My district is horrible when it comes to mainstreaming they push to place all kids at many levels and needs into one of their SDC placements...
One thing you might do is re-read your child's last triennial evaluation, which ideally contains information about his or her cognitive, academic, language,...
My one comment is about EDUCATIONAL benefit. Here in Indiana at the Deaf School we have a wonderful speech program. I often recommend it as an additional...
Hi Carolyn and all: It's practically a constant that programs for the deaf offer speech instruction. In oral or TC programs, spoken English supported (or...

I want to clarify what I meant as I am not sure what I said. Great verbal IQs do NOT correlate with Deaf children's speech intelligibility. What it does...
I want to throw out a question to the group for discussion, particularly those individuals who do psychological testing with deaf and hard of hearing children...

Erica, your list of "biased" items was right on, and you also made a good point about there being other areas of adaptive functioning besides communication,...
Thanks for the feedback, Patty. You, too, have made an excellent point about the "usability" of the Vineland (or other A-B tests) within the deaf community....

Hi everybody: has anyone in this group had an experience with a student suspected of malingering? If so, what did he or she do to trigger your suspicion?...

Thank you, Patty, for the feedback on the SB5. FYI--the SB5 was co-normed with the WJ-III tests of achievement. The computer scoring program allows WJ-III...
