[quote=Anonymous]Our 9th grader didn’t get an official diagnosis when we had them evaluated for suspected inattentive ADHD. We did find out their processing speed (while still in the normal range) was significantly lower than the rest of the scores. The report did say the although it’s not an official diagnosis that this is called sluggish cognitive tempo and we could seek accommodations or medication if we desired. At the exit interview, when we said we were not going to seek medication, the evaluator said she agreed with that. We did get an executive function coach. For both this evaluation- and evaluations of our other kid with undeniable issues and multiple diagnoses- most my experience evaluators do take into account what the family is hoping to get out of the process.
