Psychometric Assessment

Well today I learned nothing and something... Kit had temperatures near 40 all weekend. I obviously caught his virus and was a babbling wreck who basically took to my bed and didn't leave it until this morning when we had to take Hannah for her IQ test. Kit had an appalling night as did DH as he was up to him constantly and that meant also that Hannah had quite a disjointed sleep and I have just given her some panadol as she was quite warm and sooky - a sure sign that things unsavoury are brewing.
Anyhoo ... drumroll... the jury is out. The best the psychologist would say is that her vocabulary is very good. Does any one know how significant or important that is? I don't. Anyways we are headed back next week and hopefully she'll be able to give Hannah a score she is more confident is reliable.

The ped. and the psch were really lovely - and the intro bit where they watch Hannah play and check us for the "How well do you know your child quiz' was actually quite fun - after all I am very proud of little brat and don't mind bragging! I did however say that she doesn't demonstrate bad behaviour and that it is quite easy to jolly her along or distract her. Famous last words - I think we lulled the psych into a false sense of security. Still although not measurable on the wppsi - I think you'd have to agree that there was some cunning there - she kept waggling her finger (sign) and saying 'finished' when she didn't like a game. She also wandered over to the climbing blocks so she could get a better view of her too cute self in the mirrored 2 way window (as her parent i just wanted to reach through that window and tell the little bugger to sit on her bottom!), then she discovered the light switch - that was a fun distraction. When doing the puzzles which she really liked and kept requesting more of - if one was too hard she'd ask for (sign) 'help' - guess they should have told her about standardised testing procedures earlier on. When the blocks were out and she had to mimic patterns in them etc - she kept wanting to build hers with the psychs - I'm sure she thought her new friend was a bit silly and selfish not to want to build something together. And finally, oh so sweetly - she clearly indicated that it was her turn to be teacher and switched the pages of the book around so that the tester became the tested. So yep - I learnt a lot about her sense of fun, her lovely interaction and charm - cos without bias you'd have to say she was a sweetie the whole time - there weren't any tantrums after all. She was also rather good at problem solving and could ask for help when necessary - so I think she is school ready.
I am assuming her scoring will be in the moderate intellectual disability range unless she really cleans up her act by next week. It isn't something that I am going to worry unduly about. They were nice women - I want their expert advice on where Hannah's strengths and weaknesses lie so I can use that to assist me in choosing the most appropriate place for her to commence school at next year.
