Hi was wondering if I could just have some opinions please :) my ds is 4 was born at 26 weeks but is fine now except he has a speech delay common in very prem babies. I can understand everything he says but he is so fast sometimes and the sounds aren't always clear etc. I am home educating him. Today he went to see his speech therapist and for the first time really she was able to understand
him his speech is improving a lot. She checked all sorts of things and then asked me to leave for a minute. When I came back in she asked if it was ok if she fetched her boss. A hour later they say they are amazed at ds s level of comprehension, he can read, do sums explained how the sun/planets go etc etc they said they hadn't seen a child his age able to do this. They want to see him again for a iq test apparently this is very unusual without a child exhibiting autistic traits, ds is very sociable affectionate etc. tbh im a little perplexed, should I let him take the tests? I home ed as I hate the focus on things like formal testing and hitting targets within the school system. but at the same time I seem to have underestimated ds s abilities. And feel terrible, what if I can't stretch him enough? He is always happy and we do loads together but no formal learning at all, sorry for waffling on just a bit worried.
