[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I called GMU and was able to get my DS tested within the week.  It cost me $380.  They give you a 3 hour time slot, but the test is a little shorter, maybe 2 hours? The person giving the test first has a meeting with you to discuss your child and why you want to have the test done.  Then there are 3 sessions where your child takes the test with 2 10-minute breaks in between.  The first to sessions are around 45 minutes and the last one is about 25 minutes. I have my meeting to discuss results exactly 1 week from the date of the test.

I decided to get the test done because I think the one-on-one format is better for my child.  [/quote]

Thank you for this information! I think this format would be better for my child too. After reading about it, I get the impression that this test gives a lot more information about a child. It seems as if the tests offered in schools do not always give the clearest picture of a child's abilities. And, kids can prepare for the tests given in schools. I don't think children can prepare for the WISC-IV, which is a good thing. Even if I decide not to continue the application process for the AAP, I probably still will schedule him for this test. The feedback from the WISC-IV probably would be very helpful in understanding my child's strengths and weaknesses.[/quote]
