[QUOTE="Superpsy, post: 211670, member: 5848"] The quick answer? It depends. Depends on what tests they give. Sure, most MFEs (multi-factored evaluation) will mostly focus on learning disabilities but if you request that they examine auditory processing (speech language pathologist may do a screening or it may be part of the psychiatric evaluation- of course not as detailed or in depth as an audiologist's evaluation since the audiologist is specifically looking at auditory processing) and you suspect Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) they may complete rating scales, standardized observational assessments etc. etc. Oh, in your sig you mentioned difficult child has NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) characteristics, that should come up in a typical MFE. Before the SD begins the evaluation be sure that you know what they are assessing (in my districts we typically have an assessment planning meeting). Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
