[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, thanks for the helpful responses.  I should have mentioned we are in MCPS.

Has anyone ever provided private testing in MCPS and had the school insist to test itself?  Conversely, has anyone in MoCo provided private testing and been able to proceed to IEP plane w/o any MCPS testing/just private?

Thanks again![/quote]

I brought private testing results in for two different kids -- one for a speech issue and one for accommodations for ADHD.  In each case the MCPS person (speech pathologist and psychologist, respectively) reviewed and accepted the results and did not insist on additional testing beyond observation in the classroom.  I found it helped that the testing came from reliable sources and was thorough.  I used Univ. of MD for the speech report and Stixrud and Associates for the neuropsych testing for ADHD.

For ADHD, we also had an advocate and the teachers were in agreement about the diagnosis and effects in the classroom, so it would have been hard for them to deny.  [/quote]
