[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

It’s OHI. Thanks for weighing in. We’re not sure yet re classification. The tests from three years ago and now were both WISC V. The same. He did comprehensive neuropsych testing before. He also did WJ now and we don’t know how that came out yet though I’m assuming poorly. I’d like a nonverbal iq, as his has always been in average range.  So we may seek that,

Same school psych here. The WISC has a nonverbal composite that assesses overall IQ without the verbally loaded subtests. What was that score? Also, what is your ideal classification/placement for your child, and when is the IEP meeting?[/quote]
