[quote=Anonymous]You definitely have a better chance of getting the testing covered by Children's than one of the typical education related evaluators. But no guarantees.

In all likelihood the tests administered will be the same -- so the school won't care so much whether it's from Children's vs. elsewhere so long as the results and recommendations are thorough and seem credible. The reports tend to follow the same format (over the years we've used private consultants, public schools and Children's)

Children's is a teaching hospital so while the final report will be reviewed by an attending physician it is possible that your child will be tested by a resident. That again, may or may not matter to you, but if your student is in the 'grey' area sometimes a more seasoned evaluator can make a difference.

Bottom line -- either seems a good option. Remember that depending on your AGI, any testing you have to pay for out of pocket would potentially count as un-reimbursed medical expenses on your income tax return which might help the 'pain' of the upfront cost a little. [/quote]
