[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 428091"] I guess it might depend on the perspective of the tester(s) and if they have different assessment tools they rely on more and reserve the W-J and WISC for psychological. There are so many different tests out there that I guess I don't know. In our sd, they do the W-J and WISC exclusively which is also a disadvantage because they don't go deep enough into the academics sometimes to find lacking skills. Those tests have never picked up on the fact that my difficult child has reading comprehension problems. At the IEP meeting, the reading specialist from the sd shared findings from her in-depth reading assessment that I requested of her personally and the team's response was "that's not what our testing showed". She was our SpEd teacher before she became our reading specialist so she pointed out the faults of the W-J and WISC when it comes to academic difficulties. [/QUOTE]
