[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many good responses here from parents who had kids with similar struggles. Hope it helps OP.  [/quote] This is OP and yes, this has all been super helpful and very validating that we need to dig into this and not accept at face value the easy narrative we've received from the school. I'd appreciate any other private resources for evaluation people have used (we will in parallel see what the school can offer). [/quote]

You can do just the dyslexia testing, which would be less expensive. Or a place like Stixrud Group would do the full neuropsych testing. Ironically, our health insurance would not pay for just dyslexia testing, but they would pay for the way more expensive neuropsych testing, so we went that route. (The rationale, as explained to me, is that there is no medical diagnosis code for dyslexia.) Dyslexia and ADHD often co-exist, so that's what we screened for. It was also helpful to get the general IQ testing, because that shed a lot of light on what other strengths our kid was tapping into to be able to read with context clues. If you have a 2E kid, that info will be useful if you need to argue with APS over the right supports. [/quote]
