[SENco-forum] CATS - 100 good reasons for buying-using please

Only 1.

 Used in Year 4 it showed a huge discrepancy 90/141 for my daughter
encouraging the school to look again for her previously hidden difficulties
i.e. no longer a less than average child who rated no additional help, but a
bright child who was really struggling.

 I would have hoped that any of her 5 teachers might have picked up on this
disparity without the test results, but it didn't happen.

The verbal/nonverbal part was the first test to indicate IQ and show the
difference between what was, and what should be.  There is precious few
referrals to EP's for this and not everyone can afford £300 to have it done
privately.

Without knowing IQ it is very easy to settle for 'average' and education is
about getting all to reach their potential.
