IQ test is not an indicator for dyslexia

Ramai parent yang nak buat IQ test untuk anak mereka , tanpa memahami apa itu IQ test, apa keperluannya. Dan setelah dibuat IQ test pun, mereka tak tahu dan tak faham report IQ test yang telah dibuat..... IQ test is not cheap jika dibuat di secara persendirian oleh pakar yang bertauliah

- Learning disabilities (LDs) result from neurologically based processing disorders unrelated to IQ that have an impact on an individual’s ability to process, store, or produce information. LDs can affect one’s ability to read, write, speak, spell, compute math, and reason

- IQ tests are supposed to help confirm suspicions that there might be a learning or cognitive disability
- IQ test is NOT a diagnosis on its OWN...it has to be used and interpreted alongside other cognitive tests

Children's reading disability is not related to their IQ alone but to identifiable patterns of abnormal brain function.

It is important for everyone to know that IQ test is not supposed to tell you how bright your child's future is (that will be determined by the life he/she has), instead IQ tests are supposed to help confirm suspicions that there might be a learning or cognitive disability!
So IQ tests should be used carefully and we must all be aware that intelligence is not fixed. It can go up with activity, and can go down with inactivity! :)
We must understand that the test has limitations and cannot be used to tell you everything about your child!
