We were just told two weeks ago by our school district that we need to get intelligence testing and a psych evaluation done by January, 2013 for my child who will graduate next year. We were told that any college will require intelligence testing and the psych evaluation. They are offering to provide the testing. They said we can go have it done privately, but we will need to have this done by January. We thought we would just need to submit our child’s latest IEP and MFE. Has anyone heard of this? Before I go out and spend a lot of money having this done, I thought I would ask to see if anyone out there has heard of this. Thank you.
Unless “small group setting” is defined in the IEP then really it is open to interpretation. I suppose it could be argued that anything smaller than the average class size in that school would be small group.
19 sounds a bit big but it depends how the room is set up and if students have enough space and privacy while testing.
Next time you may want to define what the CRCT is as well (I had to look it up), different states have different measures.
I would like to know how many students should properly be placed in a small group setting when being tested for such test like the CRCT. Is 19 students to many for a small group setting.
