it might be local policy... it certainly is not a national thing, they do give IQ tests to AA
but in all the classes I have ever had they do talk about how unreliable they are for African AMerician Population as they test usually were made by caus. on stuff they would know... etc... we are told to be very careful before dx a kid who is AA mentally retarded...
also, unless you have top notch SpEd in your area, and even if you do, you will get better services, if the child has medicaid, but taking him to a private medicaid provider and getting weekly direct services..
If you lived where I live, I'd tell you not even to bother with trying to get any help from SpEd...
