[quote=Anonymous]School psych here. What is his diagnosis/IDEA classification? If the cognitive assessment results don't change anything in terms of classification or placement, I wouldn't re-test. If these results do impact classification/IEP services (and you think they are inaccurate), I would request an IEE. You could also speak to the school psych and ask if they would re-test your child using a different measure. Cognitive assessments are a helpful snapshot of cognitive functioning, and ideally psychologists aren't weighing on them too heavily. If they are - you want to make sure it's accurate if you disagree. Also - were the cognitive assessments (3 years ago and now) different measures? Some kids respond better to certain tests (e.g., WISC is more engaging than WJ).[/quote]
