KnitWit 168: Testing

Filed under: podcast — Autumn Breeze at 9:29 pm on Sunday, July 19, 2009

This weeks show is a long and rambling one.

I start with an explanation as to why I shared the personal details in the last show.   This is a topic that Jimmy Carter recently addressed in an option in this article.  He is much more elegant than I could dream of being.  Please, take a moment to read.

I also apologize for missing last week.  My weekend seemed to be total derailed and I just lost the time.

This week’s show I talk about being tested for learning disabilities.  It is a bit of a reminiscence of past and this week’s experiences.

I would love to know what you think.  Your comments help keep me going.

It was great to hear about the testing from the point of view of someone who has undergone it all. My son, at only 6 years old, has done similar tests 5 times (that I can remember) in his life. Three of those times were just to get him the diagnosis of Autism, once was for research purposes, and the last time was so that the school district could ensure that he did still qualify for special services with his IEP since he’ll be starting kindergarten this fall. I can definitely see over the years how he has gotten used to the tests and knows what to expect and is figuring out more and more what answer they are looking for.

He also gets promised chocolate. :)
