[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 427608, member: 1991"] I would strongly recommend sharing test score results between school and neuropsychologist. it also reduced the "over-testing" angle which can seriously inhibit accuracy of results. We've had the situation where difficult child 3 was privately assessed (we got it done free, it was part of a research study into developing a testing protocol for kids with autism) and then, only a couple of months later, despite being given a copy of the private test results and the report, the school counsellor repeated the testing, WITHOUT my knowledge or consent. Interestingly, the school counsellor's results indicated "he's not that bright after all; which mans he's actually doing quite well really, for a kid who is not that bright." Two months earlier he had been given an IQ score in the mid 140s. "not that bright." pfft. yeah, right. You can lead an ass to order but you cannot make him think... Marg [/QUOTE]
