[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 248371, member: 3444"] Shari, I forget which ones they were. Something about them being administered too close together and therefore the patient would remember how they answered before or remember the questions... and it would skew the results. They want it to be as pure an assessment, with no previous exposure to the test material. Does that make sense? Another neuropsychologist I'd called told me the same thing. When it came time to do the testing, the school told me specifically which tests they wanted to do and I ran it by the neuropsychologist to make sure she didn't run the same tests. She ended up doing different tests altogether. The school's were very basic, very watered down. I think they finished their work in about 90 minutes with difficult child 2, vs. the neuropsychologist who took over 6 hours spread out over three days. Anyway, that's what my experience was. WO, they may or may not use the private report, but at least I can share it with the psychiatrist and any therapist I end up taking him to. I think he needs to go back to a therapist to address the anxiety issues and possibly work on some CBT. [/QUOTE]
