[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A WISC cannot be used to identify/diagnose and LD.[/quote] This. The WISC is an intelligence test, not a psychoeducational test in itself. A full psychoeducational evaluation uses a battery of tests over several days, including WISC. And, importantly, it includes an interview of the child by a psychologist, not just tests. If you have the $2500 to pay for it yourself, you should if the county won't. You will get much more pointed answers about your child's LD, and direction for further testing and therapies (such as OT, or a psychiatric evaluation), if warranted. Places like Kingsbury Center and Stixrud Group can do a full psychoeducational evaluation. [/quote]
