[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 134457, member: 2423"] SRL makes a very good point. Certain tests like the WISC (IQ test) and the Wechsler (achievement test) can't be given more than once a year. Otherwise, the child becomes accustomed to the test and the second set of scores is invalid. So you do need to know which tests are going to be administered by whom before you just send your daughter into both the school and neuropsychologist testing. in my humble opinion, I'd stick with the private neuropsychologist, who will give you a far more thorough evaluation and bigger picture diagnosis. You can then share the results with the school and see what accommodations/services your daughter needs based on what is discovered in the neuropsychologist testing. [/QUOTE]
