[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you done a neuropsych? I am leery of the schools giving an id label. I'd look into Ivymount and St. Collettas. [/quote]

The school psychologist did the assessment report, DS is scheduled to get evaluated by his developmental pediatrician this summer (that was the earliest appt she had).[/quote]

Agree not to trust the school report. You could disagree with the results and ask for an IEE at school expense. Or get your own and pay for it

Did the school use a test designed for nonverbal /children with a language disorder? The TONI is a good one. [/quote]

He received the following tests:  UNIT, ABAS-3, BASC-3, Conners-3, and ASRS.  What does IEE stand for?[/quote]

IEE is independent evaluation. Basically, you say you disagree with testing results and then school has to pay to have testing from a private provider of your choice.

UNIT is a non-verbal IQ test; I'm sure there are others that can tell you whether it's a good test or not.

ABAS, BASC, and Conners are all checklists of parent and teacher observations of behavior; nothing should be diagnosed based solely on that.

You got some pretty heavy diagnoses without a whole lot of comprehensive testing.[/quote]
