I had neuropsychologist testing done on difficult child 3 years ago when he first started exhibiting difficult child issues. No Learning Disability (LD) showed up in the traditional sense of the word, but things typical for BiPolar (BP) showed up, including memory, executive functioning, borderline adhd, something about processing I think, but I don't remember that one for sure.
Anyway, he's moving to high school in the fall and he''s due for his triennial re-evaluation and transition planning. Also, we might be looking at Residential Treatment Center (RTC) placement VERY soon. I can't afford to have testing done privately again until after this school year is over, at least.
Would you recommend me asking the school to do testing so we can get it done before the school year is over? Can I ask (and expect) them to do more thorough testing than their typical adhd testing given that there is more than enough reason to believe it is needed?
