[quote=Anonymous]We did ours with Mindwell.  It was CLEAR that my DC was dyslexic, but we needed to hear the words from the neuro's mouth.  They had her read some passages, draw some pictures and guess the sequence of numbers and pictures.  They had her write, do some basic math problems, spelling and look at "made up words like  ip, pd, sw to see if DC could decode the letters.  There were lots of breaks.  Teh report was complete, but I don't think I agree with EVERY thing in the report.  I think everything is subjective and only gave us a snapshot in time of how DC did that morning for 5 hours.  We answered a TON of scantron questions.  I think the debrief really only focused on DC weaknesses (low working memory, etc.) and none of her strengths.  I give it a solid "meh".   The neuropsych person was very clinical and not warm, and focused on negative after negative after negative.  I left there really gutted and cried.  Tho I got the basic picture from them and realized how to interpret what they said later (aka need OG tutoring, more time, etc.).  [/quote]
