[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Psychologist here. Just so you know, it's not unusual for psychologists to use advanced doctoral students under supervision to conduct part of the neuropsych testing. We are all trained to do these evaluations in grad school and supervision by licensed psychologists is fairly intensive.[/quote]

Yeah not on my kid you're not. I made this mistake the first time around and vowed to never make that mistake again. My DS is already enough of a Guinea Pig in his MoCo public, he's not going to become a specimen for someone working on their Masters.  If I'm going to pay that much for a private assessment - its going to be 100% WITH the doctor or I am moving on to someone else.  Same as if I were seeing a heart specialist.  I'm going to pick the doctor with the most experience and best reputation, not an intern that's still green and wet behind the ears.

There are plenty of PhDs out there who do all the testing themselves, and they write their own reports.  This is what I demand, or you're not getting my business. [/quote]
