Does anyone know of a way to get testing in Science and Social Studies for a home-schooled child with LD?
Re: Testing
Thanks for the response. Virginia requires proof of academic achievement annually for home-schoolers, and I’m not sure if the Academic Knowledge area of test like the Woodcock-Johnson is sufficient; so, I’m looking for other options/ideas.
Re: Testing
Virginia only requires proof of progress in math and language arts. Go to [url]http://www.vahomeschoolers.org/[/url] and look at their info. Many hsers use CAT from Seton to show proof of progress.
It is hard to get meaningful testing for those subjects due to the fact that science and social studies curriculums are all so different. I personally would not test those areas with a standardized test unless it is required by law, or something. I think some of the achievement tests like maybe the ITBS include science and social studies. A better idea is to test from the curriculum which you’re using.
