-> You will have to give all of us a little more insight. The more we
-> know the better this group of amatuers will TRY LIKE HELL to help
-> you. :)
She was only give partial tests by the school psychologist because he
went through her file and found several psych-evals that he considered
to be excellent.  I have a few of them that he gave me that were copies
of stuff in her files.
"She was given the Stanford Binet Intelligence Test-4th edition. . ."
She "Lisa received a composite score of 80, which is similar to an IQ
score of 80. There was no significant test scatter, except for a low
bead memory score that may indicate poor visual sequential memory for
nonverbal information. On the Woodcock-Johnson Tests of
Achievement-Revised, . . . Lisa appeared to be functioning above grade
level: . . ."
"A Rorschach Inkblot test administered as part of the psychological
evaluation indicated that Lisa is less mature than her peers, has a
limited capacity for control and has difficulty modulating her emotional
discharges.  A Sentence Completion was administered and the answers were
extremely brief and concrete demonstrating little insight into personal
or family problems."
This particular test was given to Lisa when she was an inpatient at the
Utah State Hospital.  The Utah State Hospital is the state's psych
hospital.  She did have visits with us and were buying a house so that
we would have enough rooms to house both she and her brother, who was
already living with us.
All tests indicate that Lisa is on or above grade level in her school
subjects.  Her biggest problem is controlling her emotions.
Any thoughts anyone?
