[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since the neuropsych was done at Hopkins, I would just submit the entire report bc otherwise the school may think you are hiding something. [/quote]  
Yes, I think we have to submit the entire report, because even if the tester does the truncated one, I think it would be strange to come from KKI and they'd think we were hiding something.  Has anyone had this experience?  Do you think that it hinders he application?  I know that logically it shouldn't.  In some ways, they should look MORE favorably on it (if they aren't friendly to kids with learning challenges -- which don't get me started on that anyway) because the kid's been thoroughly evaluated and found to not have an issue.  But somehow I doubt that's how it really works out.[/quote]

we submitted everything.  i look at it this way: if they can't handle my kid, i want to know that before we put my kid there.  how horrible would it be to place your kid in a school that may have issues handling their specific needs.  but, i am a lay the cards out on the table kind of person and don't sugarcoat, so YMMV.[/quote]

I tend to agree, it's just that in this case the result was that the kid doesn't have any particular needs other than just neurotypical stuff.  If there were a diagnosis, or an issue flagged or something, then I'd *definitely* submit everything, because I totally agree with you -- I don't want to end up somewhere that can't handle it.  But this is a weird situation where that's not the case, but we have this big testing report.[/quote]
