[quote=Anonymous]I’ve seen full neuropsychiatric reports as a learning specialist and as a tutor. I’ve worked in three different schools that significantly limited access to such reports. At one private school, the greatest (and least helpful) restriction was that a hard copy report lived in the school counselor’s filing cabinet, and a child’s teacher could read it in the counselor’s office, under supervision. I didn’t know which students had reports on file, so I failed to ask after all of them and, thus, failed to deliver appropriate accommodations for some of my students. The best system I saw involved the director of special ed and a student’s learning specialist being the only people who could read the full report. They then worked together to create a one-page document with a quick diagnosis summary, a list of the child’s strengths and interests, and bullet-point accommodations. After parent approval, all of the child’s teachers received the one-page document.

This is a long way of saying, you have every right to ask who will access the testing report and how information will be shared at school. Then work with your evaluator to release only the information you’re comfortable sharing.[/quote]
