[blindkid] Intelligence testing

[Joy Orton]

Dear Lorelei,
We looked into intelligence testing for our daughter a couple of years ago.
The short answer is, there is no "good" test. It is important to look at the
student as a whole. We used some parts of tests, plus teacher and parent
observations and questionnaires. The Frances A Karnes center at the
University of Southern Mississippi has a good document you may want to look
at. Here are two links.

Hope this helps.
