[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks, all.  I posted this in the wrong forum because I posted in the middle of the night.  It should go in special needs.  Sorry.

My concern is that the neuropsych was WAY off in terms of understanding the motivations for the behavior that my child is showing.  And I don't care about getting a diagnosis -- what I want is a report that really digs into what accommodations would help my kid.  And they didn't pick up on his anxiety at all -- which is completely baffling to me.  It was so shocking in my conversation with them that I was just dumbfounded.  Given that they missed that, how is the report (which will help with a 504) recommend the right accommodations?  Because that's the point right?

They also diagnosed him with ODD -- and that pisses me off because it's a controversial diagnosis and they did it in large part on the basis of a teacher evaluation -- and the teacher has only had him in class for 6 weeks.  And my kid is only 6 years old.  [/quote]

I agree with you that ODD is a dangerous diagnosis, especially so young.

Did you ask the evaluator about anxiety and why he wasn't diagnosing him with anxiety?

You can ask that no report be written or you can take the report and stick it in your bottom drawer; either way, you're going to pay the same amount and then go get a second opinion.

I'm sorry, OP. We also began our introduction into the SN world with a bad evaluation. It was a waste of time and money, but otherwise no harm done.[/quote]
