[quote=Anonymous]That would be incredibly short-sighted, OP!

They've done the work, your child has made the effort, and they're going to charge you since they did the actual testing. Getting the report is crucial because it's the only official proof that you did the testing and whether your child has diagnoses. Schools will need this report before offering services and accommodations to your child. If you don't like it, it's even more important, because it will allow you to compare this testing to additional testing you might wish to do in the future. Additional testing will either confirm or infirm the evaluation that was done this year.

If you are seeking to do the same type of testing, know that repeating during the same year is frowned upon. I did ask for a WISC-V (IQ test) to be repeated 6 months later, because one was without medication, the other with medication, and it made a significant difference in my child's score. I received some pushback from the school, though, who claimed the second test was invalid because my child could have "remembered" the questions (sure, he doesn't remember what I've just told him!). However, the psychologist, as well as the test-maker, both claim that 6 months is an acceptable interval. Of course, they may be biased, but personally I agree. The one year interval is just arbitrary.

I advise you to post in the special needs forum, where people are well-versed in those kinds of issues.
