[QUOTE="DDD, post: 604936, member: 35"] Based on my experience "it depends". Yeah, I know you are looking for real answers but honestly it does depend on where you live, how the school board operates, whether they have a psychologist on retainer (our County does but he is not well qualified) and/or whether the Special Education Coordinator has a separate budget for testing students with unmet needs. In our family the on retainer man was a nice person who did not have the qualifications to pinpoint difficult child's issues BUT we started with him and subsequently when it is more apparent that the problems were complex the School Board paid for me to take difficult child out of town to a larger city for full neuropsychological examinations. My suggestion is to let them test and then see how it "feels" to you. If it sounds right...try the corrective path they suggest. Don't hesitate, however, to require more testing if his needs don't appear to be met. Hugs and good luck. DDD [/QUOTE]
