Would your insurance > cover it? This is what we were trying to do, but the doctor refused to retest. As far as going to another doctor, we had a hard enough time finding this one. We'd have to travel farther than we do, to find another and we just can't afford the gas. As far as the school accepting it, my advocate here in Mass. said that the school may chose to look at any report we have done, but they are NOT required to accept it, if they have not done it. The way to work it is to have them do it, then WE don't accept theirs, and then the school must pay for a second and private assessment. DS is already 16.75 yrs old and he'd be at least 17.5 yrs. or older if we try to get it done by someone else, if he would co-operate, and IF they would take the time the first doctor did. I agree on not wanting the school to do it, but the advocate suggested that if he doesn't co-operate with the school testing, it's further indication that he can NOT function in a school setting and with school personnel. So it's more for me to think on. Thank you for the ideas. Pam R. [/QUOTE]
