My son is 8, he is non verbal and he has Down syndrome. I am vehemently opposed to having an IQ score in his school records, and have explained over and over my reasoning at various meetings to various school/district personnel. The district are refusing to omit the IQ portion from his upcoming MET testing. They pretty much say, it’s all testing or nothing. Does anyone have any advice? I’m not opposed to the testing in general, I’m sure they would find out some useful information to help him learn, it’s just the IQ score itself I don’t want recorded. We declined testing 3 years for the same reason, but faced with a need to change his DD category at some point in the next year, some testing will surely be necessary.
