[QUOTE="DDD, post: 462804, member: 35"] I'm a bit surprised that it was, evidently, academic and not inclusive of behavioral testing. The tests we have had included a recap of personal history, previous observations from the parent and then an evaluation from the testing psychologists on attitude, reactions to questions and an overview of comparative behaviors and maturity using peer group norms. Ours also included the chld's responses to those around him...family and peers. Age appropriate comments like "Johnny expressed he was unhappy that he is not allowed to play outside after dark with his friends." Usually not earth shattering revelations but an independent report of how the child sees his life, his fears, his angers etc. Even when it isn't followed by a diagnosis. it has been helpful. on the other hand, you now have knowledge you didn't have before and the more we know helps us parent over the long run. I guess it's a bit of a mixed blessing. You don't know too much more than you did going in but you have professionals who are assuring you that he is "normal" for his age group. Store the report in a safe place so if you have to do subsquent testing you will have the base line for comparison. I think it's great you had it done. DDD [/QUOTE]
