[quote=Anonymous]In my experience, neuropsychs usually begin with something that's more likely to be perceived as "fun" by the kid, whether that's pointing to pictures when you hear a word, recreating things with blocks, or answering interview questions.  They want to get rapport well established, and to have kids understand and be motivated by the system they're using, before they hit the things that are the most challenging and anxiety provoking.

Parents might get some comments along the way, but you should get most of the feedback in a meeting at the end.

It is rare for parents to be allowed to observe.  The tests they use are somewhat "secure" in that you have to have certain credentials to buy them and ethically you should keep the content secret.  People can and do prep their kids for tests, especially the cognitive, and if someone knew exactly which words were going to be on the vocab, or which specific math problems would show up they might teach those specifically and invalidate the results.
