[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry to be a pessimist, but my guess is nothing will happen at this meeting.  When you come back with the outside evaluation diagnosing ADHD, they will give you some accommodations.  I would think about what accommodations you want written in -- think especially about specials, time outside of the regular classroom, etc.  You might be able to get the school to consider this when placing him or her for next year (e.g. which teachers are generally better at helping kids with your profile).  I would talk specifically about what concerns you have, rather than just using the ADHD label (which can mean different things for different kids).  [/quote]

It's so expensive to get this ADHD testing done. Won't the school test her at all? We got her screened as a result of the teacher repeatedly reporting her difficulties. I was hoping the school would test her. It is impacting her...the teacher told us if she weren't providing the accomodations she is providing that our child wouldn't be finishing her work at all. So even though she is above grade level she wouldn't be meeting the grade level standards in certain subjects because she wouldn't be completing her work. Even the screening we had done cost several hundred $'s...we don't have 3500 for a private neauropsych right now.[/quote]
