અનુચિત પરીક્ષણ બાળકોમાં ખોટા નિદાન માટે જવાબદાર

The Wechsler IQ test is the standard test used by education departments across Australia.

A score of 70 or above would likely translate to admission to a mainstream school, but anything below that flags placement in a special school.     

At least one in four children with a disability is being turned away from the schools.  As voice-dependent testing means some children with little or no speech are being misdiagnosed.

Once misdiagnosed with intellectual disabilities, labeling children inaccurately can be devastating.
