[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 253240, member: 1233"] Glad you got the testing done. Don't be at all surprised if the initial results and the final results are rather different. I know several people that this has happened to. Either way the neuropsychologist should be able to help with school. You may want to think about not having a copy sent to school until you actually see the final report. Sometimes the schools can use it against you (and your difficult child) to deny services or to push you in a direction you think is wrong if you disagree with the neuropsychologist. in my opinion it would be better to send a letter directing the neuropsychologist to give you and the doctors involved copies of the reports and NOT to send a copy to the school. You can then read the report and give school the parts they need to see and keeping any private info away from school. Be aware that even with the confidentiality laws and professional ethics teachers talk about these things and are overheard by other teachers and even parents or students. Just something to think about. You should be able to contact the neuropsychologist and withdraw the permission to send a copy to the school. Telling the neuropsychologist in person or by phone is fine, but send a letter about it also. I really hope that he is able to put together some great ways for school to support your difficult child. Also, you should probably go ahead and send a letter telling the school you want difficult child evaluated fully for an IEP. If you go to the Special Education section of the board you will find people who can help you with that. It is good to ask for an IEP - after evaluation they may give you a 504 instead, but asking for the most protection possible (IEP) is best. [/QUOTE]
