This says the GAF has a children's version, as most do.   What are your concerns with the test?  From looking at this link, it wouldn't take much for a special needs child to reach a score of 47 I bet.

Better link - Just for the Children's version.  Would I be right in guessing that there are attention / hyperactivity issues with your child?
