[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, my child has had three and about to start high school  I don’t see a need to repeat them again. The educational piece is helpful because you can see if their on grade level and such. The rest doesn’t change at all and you don’t need a full neuropsych at $5k for that

If she’s doing well then what’s in place is working. Why go through that again? I’m not planning to repeat my child’s in high school [/quote]

If your child needs accommodations in college, you might need to. Many schools want an evaluation no more than three years old. The college board may also want a recent evaluation.[/quote]

Tutor here.  If your DC had a plan (504 or IEP) in HS, College Board will not (and should not) ask for updated testing. They might have done that a decade ago, but no longer.  If you have a plan with accommodations, College Board will approve you for the same.

Some colleges require very specific things and updated testing for accommodations.  Many do not. Those that do not recognize that asking for updated testing, especially in college when the school is no longer required to pay for it, is discriminatory and inequitable.  Frankly, I think that colleges who do ask for expensive, updated testing for diagnoses that are widely accepted as chronic are asking for a lawsuit as there is no requirement in the law for a specific kind of testing or a specific time frame.
