[blindkid] psych tests

[dhammelia at aol.com]

The therapist asked questions like could Paul cut out paper dolls with a scissors and similar questions.

He came out with a severe and profound Mental Retardation diagnosis when we know Paul is quite bright.

We tried to give him examples to show his abilities but he just adhered to the stock questions.

should ask the psychologist if she does to get a

test we did? Essentially, they have no usuable 
vision. Barbara Poetry is an echo, asking a
