[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The expensive testing is only worth it if you want to get accommodations at school because you need the expensive test results to get the accommodations. There is no definitive test to say your child has it or doesn't, but the questionnaires are pretty good predictors, especially if you can ask a teacher or two to fill them out, and they see similar issues that you see at home. [/quote] My DD never got any accommodations at school (long story), but still consider the testing worthwhile because it helps us know where to push and where to support. Knowing what’s in her control and what’s really not helps us know how to discipline effectively, and helped us know what she needed from us to succeed. We did also find her a medication that helped some of those things be more in her control. It also helped to ID her strengths, because it gave us something to help her build on and gave her some confidence. [/quote]
