[QUOTE="klmno, post: 236388, member: 3699"] Good point- if you are going to that, I hope you'll share what you learn. At the school meeting yesterday, the sd ed spec said that she is not trained to do neuropsychologist testing, but that she does educational and some psychiatric testing and that some of her tests would not be done by a neuropsychologist, but that there can be a little overlap. Personally, I'm a lot more comfortable with the neuropsychologist. When I had difficult child's MDE, there was a highly trained Ed Spec on board. He reviewed the neuropsychologist report previously done and did not recommend any additional tests, but I think he could/would have if difficult child had been struggling in school at the time and he had noticed an area of concern, I think. Maybe you could consult with an ed spec (I'd recommend one that does not work for the sd) and ask them if they recommend any specific test or area of concern, instead of starting out having them both do all the testing they normally do.
