[quote=Anonymous]I know this is an unusual circumstance, but what do you do if your child has had the full neuropsych testing within a year of applying to private schools and the results are that there's no diagnosis?  We have a child who we thought might have some ADD, so we had him tested, and the results were just a very smart kid, with no particular significant results.  Some anxiety, which accounted for the symptoms we were seeing, but that seems to have resolved by itself since then anyway.  But they do the WISC as part of the testing, and now we're in the position of 1) not being able to do the WISC again because it's within one year of the last time, and 2) the report we have includes ALL the neuropsych testing.  So it's just different from what everyone else has -- the nice little WISC report and write up.  Ours is from Hopkins, not one of the private testers so it's just much more clinical.  And we're a little worried that the fact that we did the whole testing may make the school think there's an issue that isn't there.  (We chose to do the testing ourselves, it wasn't recommended by the child's school or anything, so it wouldn't come up otherwise.)
It seems like things are so competitive that anything can disqualify a kid these days.  [/quote]
