[QUOTE="Liahona, post: 591876"] Don't go to the "independent" tester. Use a private one. If he has been to a neuropsychologist take that testing. The independent tester for the school is still paid by the school and if they disagree with the school to often will get fired. Also, the iep team can over ride the testing results. Example, difficult child 1 has very bad handwriting and sensory issues. The Occupational Therapist (OT) testing didn't show this. His handwriting looked like it was from a different kid. During the mtg I pulled out a homework page and showed what his handwriting does look like and the classroom teacher confirmed it. The iep team decided to do Occupational Therapist (OT) services even though the testing said he didn't need them. This would take a reasonable school though. Maybe you could do the independent tester but insist the test be given in the same kind of environment as a classroom? I don't know if they would do that. It is ok that your report and the teachers were different. That happens all the time. Good luck tomorrow! [/QUOTE]
