[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^Also, I just checked and also see that the window between decisions and appeals is small indeed, so trying to do a WISC in that interval and get a score would probably not work.[/quote]

We did a WISC and it was pretty quick to schedule - about a week - and then they turned the report around in about 5 business days, though they give themselves up to two weeks. They do a lot of testing for FCPS so they are aware of the timelines and will work with you. FWIW the CoGAT was only one point less than the WISC so i wasn't a huge difference. The benefit of the WISC is that it is very comprehensive and gave us some info about her strengths and relative weaknesses that I would not have otherwise been aware of. She enjoyed doing it too - it's 1:1 attention with a young adult, 8 year olds are the thrilled by that haha! [/quote]

The other benefit of the WISC is that if the score isn't great you don't have to include it in the appeal. The WISC also includes a nice report that will provide additional insight to the AAP committee about your child.

Agreed that the timeframe is completely doable. GMU expects to be super busy with new appointments right after AAP decisions come out. If you call them within a day or two of the AAP decision then they should work you in and will get you results before the appeal is due.   [/quote]

Great to know, thank you![/quote]
