[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 573485, member: 23"] Something else -- take care not to limit the testing the school will perform. They are required to test in all areas of "suspected" disability. Very helpful for you to help them suspect, but not inadvertently limit the testing. I bring this up so that in the event you do not agree with their evaluation(s) and request an independent evaluation, you are not likewise limited. Also, the appropriate professional to test for Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) is an audiologist that has a sub-specialty in Auditory Processing Disorders (APD). It's been so long since my difficult child was tested, I don't remember age requirements, but I'd hope things have advanced since then. But school do not typically have the sophisticated tools for Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) testing. Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) testing for Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) is more like screening in my opinion. I was told these type tests can miss lots of things -- and for my difficult child that proved true. [/QUOTE]
