[quote=Anonymous]School testing only assesses your child’s ability to access the curriculum, won’t provide a diagnosis, only provides services based on how many standard deviations your child’s ranges fall from average, and your school district will likely only give you bare minimum services based on the evaluation results. A neuropsych is going to be much more thorough and is going to go beyond just accessing the school curriculum. It’s essentially an unbiased third party evaluation. They will give you diagnoses, along with a detailed report of your child’s learning and cognitive profile, strengths and weaknesses, and recommendations for school settings, accommodations and any other next steps (psychiatrist, OT, social skills group, etc.) [/quote]
