Hello, Dr.T speaking...

Dear mrsphcheung,

where did your son do the assessment?How much does it cost?

mrsphcheung 寫道:
Dear Dr. T,
I have a silly question to ask you as I am very anxious right now.
My child has just passed the speech assessment.  He is now 5 years & 2 months old.  His comprehension ability is 1 year ahead and expression ability is age appropriate.  He had 9-month speech delay in Jan. 2004 and he has improved rapaidly since then.  Does this results imply that he may have normal IQ?  I am extremely anxious about his IQ.  I think that I will train him intensively during these few months and send him to you for IQ assessment.....   

mrsphcheung

Dear Dr. T,
Thanks a lot.  

mrsphcheung

Dear wewangwang,
The assessment was conducted by my private speech therapist as I urged her to test my child's speech ability to prepare for P.1 application.  She did not ask for extra fee and just charged me the hourly training fee.

mrsphcheung,,

Do you find him /her good? Please pm the tel no. to me as I want to  test my child's speech ability too?

mrsphcheung

Dr. T,
謝謝你的資料 : ,看過你的資料,原來'韋氏'咁詳細,所以請給意見.我的囝囝現在10歲,在上年9月在衛生署轄下的兒童智能中心進行評估,結果是語文能力高(100人排第三喎?????),IQ就話比正常多D再多D但未達到資優????數學就要教多幾次?????手眼不協調,主要是抄寫出現問題(並已經轉介物理治療).心理學家說他有能力和理解力強叫我不要強迫他,但他讀書的表現令我十分勞氣!!!報告令我很迷茫。請問是否需要找你再作一次詳細評估?
為了慳錢足足等了一年,但結果咁簡單, :-| !!!!!!

Dr.T

雖然同屬非語文測試,但三者性質並不相同-Coding主要是模仿及抄寫,Object Assembly是視乎小朋友對圖畫的敏感程度及能否想像最終圖案的樣子,而你所指的玩具似有視覺計劃的意味,即從起點到終點,這與觀察力似乎關係較大.

1. 相信可能有此需要...因為衛生署評估中心存在的目的是針對小朋友的行為情緒問題,但學習方面並非他們(臨床心理學家)的專長,即使是學生健康服務中心內的教育心理學家,也通常是經驗甚淺之輩,只會依書即說...

2. 想落你也不算太慘 ,因為損失的極有限的金錢及時間,接到不少BK家長在別的私人機構(便宜數百元)做完測試但依然對孩子能力茫無頭緒的例子...都是那一句,測試很多人都會做,但測驗結果分析才是整個評估過程的重點.

   Thanks a lot for your professional advise. See you in the afternoon. I have an appointment with you at 2:30p.m.

Dr T,

Can you give some advice on how to train my son. His reading in IQ test in assessment centre:

Alertness to visual details, visual concentration – 9

A jigsaw task requiring the ability to put together cut-up parts to form a Meaningfuly whole- 9

What kind of activities or games or toys can help him? (No money to find private OT la! )

And same as Kmwun, my son's school has one class teaching chinese (only) using Putonghua. My son speak slow, sometimes has 口吃﹐'l' consonant always wrong. Could I put him into this Putonghua class?

以下的問題亦有請教稚言治語，但想問多啲專業人士意見．

想請教有關普通話教學的問題．仔仔六歲有自閉傾向，智力正常，說話時有時比較bookage．而家返緊早期，大概三個星期至一個月見一次言語治療師，而家訓練緊講故事，及一些日常生活碰到問題的正確對話方式．

剛剛派到主流小一，但學校在小一將會有一班除英文科以外其他所有科目均以普通話授課．小朋友由K2下學期開始讀普通話，一般用普通話對答無大問題，而我在工作上亦需要講普通話．考慮到用普通話上課，小朋友在講與讀寫會比較一致，功課應該會較易應付，廣東話始終是香港用的方言，大氣候會需要懂普通話．但另方面在香港生活始終用廣東話，仔仔用廣東話表達已經要多加訓練，如果上堂用普通話即會減少用廣東話的機會．因明天(星期四)需回覆學校，之後學校會安排面試篩選．感謝你的意見！

請fax您的知料給我.請睇pm.謝謝!

對不起,回到家中才看到你的message...今天很早出門

希望今日的評估對你了解小朋友有幫助 ...

Dr.T

個人覺得相比起語文部分的內容,非語文所涉及的範圍很大程度是天生的.

1. 通常這一點較弱我會建議家長多提醒小朋友在做作業,功課,考試卷等時作自行有系統的檢查(自我口頭提示).

2. 這個比較難攪,因為牽涉對圖畫的敏感度...不是容易訓練的一環...若果語言OK的話,先用說話形容每個部分,再利用已文字化的資訊嘗試"猜"出最終圖像

3. 我會覺得先讓日常用語言流利後再學其他比較好,但因為我不知道小朋友的情況,所以可能我的建議會較保守.

正如我給ALAL的意見一樣,我會覺得先讓日常用語言流利後再學其他比較好...但因為我不知道小朋友的情況,所以可能我的建議會較保守.若果你覺得小朋友的日常廣東對話已差不多OK,而普通話又有相當的基礎,一試無妨...

Dr.T,
我相信真的要見見你
這是需錢同不需錢的分別 其實那位教育心理學家很好人 : 很有耐性,我又多問題,所以用了3小時.結果咁簡單我想是政策問題.
我想你解答,文能力高(100人排第三喎),IQ就話比正常多D再多D但未達到資優,數學就要教多幾次. 何解??   

Dr.T

真係要問果位仁兄/仁姐先知佢實在講緊乜...我覺得這是經驗的問題,因為他/她們畢業無耐,只懂依書直說...

老實說我只係靠估...

1. 統計學上有所謂百分位(percentile)的概念,即是將所有人的(任何)能力分成100份,大部分人會在中間(50百分位),排頭(或排尾,視乎你由少至多或由多至少)當然是有較出色表現

2. 大約係指中上(110-119)或優異(120-129)啩?

3. 可能是指對口頭題目理解不甚了了(數學題是用口頭問的),又或者是聆聽力不足,要講多幾次.

斷估專家報告完畢
