[quote=Anonymous]OP, I have a kid pretty similar to yours and we've done private testing. In my experience, school testing focuses on deficits/issues that show up in behaviorally or academically in the school environment/at school and tend to be somewhat narrowly tailored/focused. (Ie, you bring a concern about anxiety and school testing will administer a specific instrument to assess for that.) In my experience, comprehensive private testing considers the gamut of things that may be going on and uses lots of different data to triangulate the picture of your kid. My kid has had things missed in both school and outside testing, but I feel like we got (a lot) more actionable information from the outside testing. [/quote]
