[quote=Anonymous] MCPS has psychologists who do not have the credentials or time that private psych have. They will not do a full neuropsychological evaluation on your child, which is what he needs, for a complete picture of his cognitive functioning and where his strengths and weaknesses are. A neuropsych will also tease out if there are other learning disabilities, or whether they is giftedness. Private psychs will also write up a long report laying out everything you need to know. And lastly, but most importantly, do you really want an evaluation by the institution that will also decide on your child's placement, service and accommodations??? That's a HUGE conflict of interest. [/quote]
