Do you mean an ADHD diagnosis?[/quote]

No, I mean exactly what I just said. My child’s private school would [b]only grant accommodations for their learning disability if a neuropsych eval was submitted[/b]. We tried submitting an abbreviated form from the psychologist because the neuropsych contained private information. They would not accept it.[/quote]

I do not actually think this is legal - to accept only a neuropsych - but I have seen Sidwell do it.  Parents have generally invested too much time and money to challenge them, plus they worry about getting kicked out.

There is nothing in disability law that mandates getting a diagnosis or certain set of tests from a certain type of provider in order to “qualify” for disability accommodations. [/quote]

To the extent that there are Operation Varsity Blues-type people out there trying to game the system for their kids, I would imagine schools like Sidwell are probably ground zero for higher concentrations of this kind of behavior and that they could probably tell stories that would have all our jaws on the ground. Honestly, I kind of get why they mandate this.[/quote]
