[quote=Anonymous]you can have the school do their testing and then request an IEE (independent educational evaluation) where you get to pick the psychologist who does the testing. It does prolong the process but the school system paid for $1800 of it (for us, Fairfax County--but I'm sure the same in Montgomery county). They don't tell you about IEE's...but you are entitled to an independent evaluation. The only catch is ---it can only be approved after the school does their testing. We learned so much more from the IEE because they really went into depth and diagnosed issues that the school could not (in our case, dyslexia) and gave us SPECIFIC recommendations rather than general accommodations. It was a long, arduous road, but I think we're on track now. We used MindWell and they really helped us. Good luck![/quote]
