What IQ scores does a child need to continue to be eligible for North Metro services?
A There are a variety of IQ tests used by school district personnel (usually psychologists). These tests are often divided into 3 main categories: Verbal IQ, Performance IQ, and Full Scale IQ which is a combination of the first two scores. Some IQ test results give a clear picture of whether a child continues to be eligible or not for our services; other results may need additional information from a parent and/or the teacher who knows him best. A Full Scale score closely on either side of 70 or below 70 may result in continuing eligibility. Q When our family lived in another Colorado county and was served by another community centered board, we requested and were given a stipend to spend on particular services for our child. Why are North Metro’s Family Support funds so limited? A There are a couple of reasons for this: Adams County does not receive the amount of county monies that another county may receive. Our Family Council made the decision to provide funding to help families pay
