Yes, I think we have to submit the entire report, because even if the tester does the truncated one, I think it would be strange to come from KKI and they'd think we were hiding something. Has anyone had this experience? Do you think that it hinders he application? I know that logically it shouldn't. In some ways, they should look MORE favorably on it (if they aren't friendly to kids with learning challenges -- which don't get me started on that anyway) because the kid's been thoroughly evaluated and found to not have an issue. But somehow I doubt that's how it really works out.

we submitted everything. i look at it this way: if they can't handle my kid, i want to know that before we put my kid there. how horrible would it be to place your kid in a school that may have issues handling their specific needs. but, i am a lay the cards out on the table kind of person and don't sugarcoat, so YMMV.

I tend to agree, it's just that in this case the result was that the kid doesn't have any particular needs other than just neurotypical stuff. If there were a diagnosis, or an issue flagged or something, then I'd *definitely* submit everything, because I totally agree with you -- I don't want to end up somewhere that can't handle it. But this is a weird situation where that's not the case, but we have this big testing report.

While it's true that the kid wasn't diagnosed with anything, clearly the child does have specific challenges that led the parents to decide to get him evaluated. Plus mild challenges that don't lead to a diagnosis when younger could easily become a diagnosible issue when older and the academics ramp up. So the parents still would want to make sure that the school was open minded and able to handle whatever the child's specific needs are.

Only issue was kid hating school. Never behaved in any way that the school noticed, and academically all good. Parents wanted to figure out why the kid hated school. Turns out kid just doesn't like big public school.
