respond to this posting: Perhaps the most well-known version of the standard score with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15 is the Wechsler Intelligence Scales. Using this scoring system, a child with a standard score of 115 would be considered 1 standard above the mean, whereas a child with a standard score of 85 would be 1 standard below the mean. In a normal distribution, about 68% of scores fall within one standard deviation of the mean. So, a standard score of 115 falls in the top 16% of the distribution, while a score of 85 falls in the bottom 16%. This means that a score of 115 is 1 standard deviation above the mean, and a score of 85 is 1 standard deviation below the mean. What would you recommend at an initial IEP with each? At an initial IEP meeting with a student scoring 115, I would recommend providing enrichment opportunities to meet the needs of their above-average intelligence and ensure they are being challenged academically. For a student scoring 85, I would recommend additional support to address areas where they may be struggling so that they can receive appropriate interventions to help them
