[quote=Anonymous][quote]I[b] never said there was a good reason.[/b] That would be a question for the schools themselves. The test was designed to be used as one tool to help evaluate educational and developmental concerns. It wasn't designed for school admissions purposes. The only time it would be appropriate to include results of this test in admissions is if it is for a school who's mission is to serve a special population that could be identified with the help of the test like LD/GT, gifted, LD, and other special education programs for children with delays, etc. who need a specific learning environment.

My point was really to say that what the psychologists charge isn't the problem. It's the same price whether you get the test done for the appropriate reason or for admissions. It is the schools that you should be questioning. [/quote]

If there is no good reason then the [b]mandatory requirement[/b] (rather than selective use based on signs and symptoms) for admission rule makes the [b]$400/kid test  a scam [/b]unless you believe a significant proportion of the American population have learning disorders and pathology at the ages of 4 and 5
