Document Summary
People first language": refer to students with developmental disabilities" or students placed at risk": use: students with learning disabilities not: learning disabled students. Measuring intelligence: binet"s tests allowed the examiner to determine a mental age of a child. A child who succeeded on the items passed by most 6-year-olds, for example, was considered to have a mental age of 6, whether the child was actually 4 or 6 or 8. Intelligence quotient=mental age/chronological age x 100: the deviation iq score is a number that relays exactly how much above or below the average a person scored on the test, compared with others in the same age group. In a generation, the average score goes up about 18 points on standardized iq tests. Gifted children: the work of gifted students is original, extremely advanced for their age, and potentially of lasting importance.
