[quote=Anonymous]We paid for Stixrud and it was totally worth it. The testing revealed sides of my kid I never would have known--slow processing speed and autism, in particular. It was mind-blowing to me that the testing showed my kid could not read facial expressions. Seeing how my kid could not copy a complicated shape was also illuminating. I never would have guessed all that. They have us an evaluation that was very detailed and that also had strong recommendations for school accommodations (such as avoiding timed tests) and therapy (to improve specific social skills) that we were able to put right into an IEP and take action on. I think we had Rothman. They also did a presentation to our kid on the results that was good as it was very matter-of-fact and explored both strengths and weaknesses that I think was empowering for our kid in terms of helping him to conceptualize what he is great at and what he needs to work on. They did that for my 10 year old so surely they'd do something similar for a teen. [/quote]
