[QUOTE="buddy, post: 558917, member: 12886"] I have never had to do anything but just call for an evaluation and I am so grateful for that. but in terms of choosing the right one (assuming you have much choice) i wouldn't waste my time on someone who has not worked with kids similar to yours. Like any profession they are trained generally and are qualified to do it, but do they REALLY get it if they have not worked in a certain area much, no of course not. Everyone specializes and takes more interest in one area or another. There are people who understand the issues that could impact kids and know how to word things to get better services for them. I too would ask what they plan to do in terms of testing, not that you have to understand each test but to see if they are just a quick evaluation like you have already experienced or a true overall comprehensive evaluation. I think it is really smart to find out what they want to know. I love that you thought of it that way. What is important to you is exactly what should be important to them (not that they wont have questions beyond that, of course we hope they see even things we wouldn't think of). I hope you find someone who does a good job and can give you some insight to what is going on as well as some guidance for where to go next. [/QUOTE]
