[QUOTE="SRL, post: 40474, member: 701"] Jal, I could take a good stab at answering this but I recommend that you copy your post to the Special Education board where some experts in that area will help. One caution I will add if you choose to go this route: when the school district pays for an independent evaluation of this sort I believe they not only have some say in which specialist is used but they automatically have access to the concluding report. This can sometimes pose a real problem if the neuropsychologist and the parent don't agree with the final diagnosis or recommendations and can in some instances work against the case you are trying to build. If you have insurance and/or can afford to pay for a private evaluation that is a much more preferable route to go because then you have total control of who to choose and you will be able to review the final report before making copies for the school district. I know there are times when parents have limited options and need to have the district handle this but whenever possible private is best for this type of evaluation. [/QUOTE]
