[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 134534, member: 3444"] I'm in the same boat and have decided to do both. But as others have cautioned, it is important to not duplicate any of the tests because it renders them invalid for the most part. The way I am handling it is this: I gave the private neuropsychologist the list of assessments the school was planning to do (which is very limited). The neuropsychologist requested that the school not do one of the cognitive intelligence tests they'd planned on doing, so the school has made that change. Furthermore, the school will be providing the neuropsychologist with the actual test and results when they are complete, so that the neuropsychologist can include the information in the overall assessment. Since the neuropsychologist will be creating a complete assessment by augmenting what the school does, I feel the money will be well spent and I will end up with the "big picture" for what's going on with my difficult child. Ours is scheduled for the first week in April, too. Fingers crossed it gives us both the answers we're seeking! [/QUOTE]
