A color vision deficiency does not mean that your child doesn't know the names of colors.  It means that he cannot SEE certain colors very well.  Many males are afflicted - the common term is "color blindness."  This does not impact his intellectual ability in any way.  It means that he might have difficulty noticing the contrast between two colors in a drawing or certain colors may look "washed out" to him.  In other words, you see a green grass but he sees it as kind of gray.  The site below is very helpful.

My best friend that i chat with online has a 5 yr old daughter with CF and was diagnosed when she was only 2.  I have heard my friend talk about the sweat test but cannot remember what she had said about it, sorry.  If you leave your e-mail address i will get her to e-mail you when she returns back home the beginning of June.  She is a great person and knows ALOT about CF because she reads everything she can about this disease and how to help her daughter.

There are many factors involved here, and you have had some very good answers.  IQ tests tend to not be very accurate with young children for a whole variety of reasons, and it can be expected that tests given later will produce different scores. It also depends for example, on the particular test used.  \n\nDid you daughter have lots of special programming and attention after the first test?  If so, that teaching may have helped her make some significant gains in her skills.  Does she seem to be progressing very well?  If so, her delays may have been developmental, and she may  "catch up" quite a bit, given lots of good programming.\n\nWith all of that said, it is really impossible for any of us to give you an absolute answer to your question, because we don't know your daughter, which test was used, etc. but anything is possible.  However, the difference you describe is quite a big one, and as you said, it is hard to believe that there could be that much improvement so quickly.  \n\nPay particular attention to your daughter and her development over the next months.  Stimulate her learning as much as you can.  Ask her teacher what you can do at home to help her progress even more than she has, but don't overwhelm her with too much work and practice.  Most likely she will be tested again  in a year or so, and then you may have a better answer.   \n\nBest of luck to you and your daughter.

If you have a teacher supply store in your area they frequently have writing sheets for kids to trace and stuff.  If it's remotely legible or if the teacher hasn't commented on it, don't worry too much.  Third grade is still fairly little and it will improve with time.  Or maybe he just has ambitions to be a doctor (just kidding).

So basically, your child has just been diagnosed with a neoplasm and you're thinking about suing the doctor presumably  for economic purposes. wow.\n\n////\n\nTo reply again: you're saying they misdiagnosed.  have you referred the child to another pool of doctors who drew another diagnose? is there no paraclinical evidence (cat,  rm scans, biopsing, etc) to back the original diagnosis?\n\nbasically, you're saying the neurologist drew the diagnosis out of thin air.

You really need to check with your school on that question.  \n\nIf it is for personal reasons, try to get documentation.  For example, if you were sick I would try to get a doctor's note to explain the circumstances. \n\nHope this helps!

Dear Jassa b,\n            What do you think? Does all these stupidities work? Abstain from such handiwork. These are Satan's handiwork. There was a research done in America. There was a Professor who taught a class of 100 students. After a week, the Professor said, I have got to know the nature and past of every student. I will write it on papers and give the students. After it, the students will open it simultaneously and tell whether it is true or not. The Professor wrote the nature and past of every student and distributed them among the students. When the students opened them, more than 90 % students said that the Professor was 100 % correct and the remaining 8 or 9 % said that the Professor was 90% correct. After that, the Professor told that he wrote the same thing for every student. You know there are certain things which are for sure, which anyone can say. Like, I say that in the next 6 months, you will hear a good news. Even if 100 bad things have happened, at least one good thing will happen. Its just a guess.\n\nSo ....  Abstain from palmistry.

Why in the world is your district running full diagnostics for every 3-year?\n\nAlso, THE NEW AUTHORIZATION (2004) STATES THAT DISCREPANCY BETWEEN IQ AND ACHIEVEMENT IS NOT THE PRIMARY MEASURE....\n\nRESPONSE TO RESEARCH-BASED SLD INTERVENTIONS IS!!!!!\n\nIF THE CHILD MADE SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS IN YOUR PROGRAM, THAT IS PROOF THAT HE/SHE HAS AN SLD, AND SHOULD CONTINUE SERVICES!\n\nPL 108-446(2004) SEC 614(b)2(B) states that no single measure shall be used in determining qualification, or exit. \n\nPL 108-446(2004) SEC 614(b)6 states that the IQ/Achievement discrepancy method is now considered invalid, and student reevaluation for continuing designation of SLD should be based on student responsiveness to research-based SLD instructional methods.\n\nSee this link, page 60: http://www.cec.sped.org/Content/NavigationMenu/PolicyAdvocacy/IDEAResources/PublicLaw108-446.pdf\n\nThe LAW states that the committe is required to look at information already available about the child, and to request further testing ONLY IF IT IS NEEDED.\n\nIf these kids are being given formal diagnostics when it is not needed, then the district is out of compliance with the law.\n\nThe correct procedure for review of student data includes looking at the last diagnostic set of tests. The committee must review the last set carefully, and discuss whether or not the data still appears correct for the student. If the student's needs and strengths are still accurately reflected by the old data, combined with responsiveness to research-based SLD instruction, then a new test does not need to be done. The IEP committee places a statement in the reevaluation minutes that the old testing remains accurate and current as of that date due to documented teacher observations, parent input, and student products, and the date of the IEP becomes the most recent date of evaluation.\n\nThe only reason to run formal diagnostics is when the old data appears to be inaccurate for the student's current performance and needs.\n\n\nIf your district (or G-d forbid...entire state) is doing a full diagnostic on every sped kid, and disqualifying kids based solely on those tests, regardless of the child's real needs, then a lawsuit will eventually rear its ugly head when a smart parent, who wants to have his/her child remain in program, gets wise to the practice. The law's language regarding ALL reevaluation, including the 3-year formal, is to protect kids from being exited without adequate documentation, not to force them out before they are ready to fly on their own.\n\nCall this information to your sped central office administrator NOW, and demand that your district's IEP formats be updated to meet the 2004 reauthorization... G-d knows what other horrid and damaging mistakes your district is making.

Thanks for the information, I saved the link and will read thought it later. I have a 5 year old nephew who has been diagnosed as autistic, he also has vision problems. I have had my doubts about the diagnosis from the beginning, hope your paper helps bring some light to the situation. \nThanks.

If you don't know, then you are too young.  Someone needs to have a discussion with your health teacher.  If this topic is going to be discussed, all aspects of it should be covered.

Why shouldn't she learn about it?  Would learning about it hurt her in some way?  The teacher must abide by government regulations when forming curriculum and the students must behave when given assignments.  I think I might know where she is getting the attitude, you yourself said that they "did her wrong."  I find it hard to believe that she was punished for her actions in your home.  In her mind, you just said it was ok to behave like that.

why don't you ask your teacher? I find it very disturbing that the person that drew my blood the other day may have been taught how to do it by someone on yahoo. Gee whats next a Dr. asking the best way to perform a heart transplant.

I often ask the same thing.  No one can diagnose without seeing the child.  And, why ask kids, teens and people with no medical background at all for help?  \n\nI am a nurse and I am often shocked at the advice I see others give on here.  Some of it, if followed would do far more harm than good.  People should not answer questions that they are not qualified to answer, in my opinion.

I think{as a nurse} the doctors answer was correct. I can also understand your worry of course. Had your partner no signs and symptoms before getting ill at 23? That is unusual. It is likely that the children won't get screened unless one of them develops difficulty breathing, or becomes cyanotic{fingers ,lips,nose go purple/blue colour}. Then they will agree to immediate screening for all the kids but I think it will be hard to get done otherwise. Can you ask even your Gp to refer them to a cardiologist privately to rule out any signs of disease. I think that is your only option-going private. Remember however, if they get screened and all is well, that is no guarantee that it will stay that way throughout their lives. They may need screening every few years to make sure. Best of luck. I hope something works out and someone can reassure you.If they are healthy and can be very active without any difficulty, they are bound to be in good shape.Good luck and hope your partner is doing better now.

Never feel guilty......  Does not help you or them!  Now you could test for any congenital defects if they are very severe like Down's syndrome or such.  As for more simple things... which are still complicated, like bipolar, schizophrenia and sorts, yes, that can be passed on.  But this information is available to us now, not back then.  Would I still have children, probably depending on how severe it is in the family.  However, my family have severe dyslexia.  Would I not want one of my children because of that, of course not.  I would become as knowledgeable as I could to make sure they have the best opportunities.  As for guilt mom, don't carry any, you can only live for tomorrow and can't change the past.  Don't let your children make you feel this way, they will not benefit from your weakness.  Good luck and remember, they are teens, they will become human beings once again once this age is passed.  Good luck!
