[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 493570, member: 11791"] [U]Second[/U] opinions? How about 4th and 5th? Sometimes, it takes that long to get answers. However. You can't always get these back-to-back. Specific tests can only be run 3-4 years apart. Having said that - it depends on... 1) how much testing was actually done 2) the kinds of details you have in your parent report (you are working on one, right?) that are not answered by the original diagnosis 3) the gaps in accommodations, interventions and medications - the unmet needs. We had major testing re-done 3 years after the first... and got partially better answers. Two years later - difficult child goes completely off the cliff. We fought for a re-evaluation, but they can't re-do the testing... so, a PHD level psychologist "reviewed" the prior testing, and then [I]added[/I] more tests that had not been done... and the result was significantly closer (still not complete). We had cooperation between 2nd testers and 3rd tester... and still do, even though #3 challenged #2's interpretation of test results! [/QUOTE]
