[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]School psychologist here! It’s really a semantics question. We are not giving diagnoses in the educational setting, we are giving educational classifications. If I test your child and the pattern is clearly  dyslexia, I will tell you that! But there won’t be a piece of medical paperwork for your child’s record that says that. Instead, there will be an IEP under the category of specific learning disability. I would not encourage you to get private testing at this stage, as the school will give many of the same tests for free.[/quote]

ha! every school psychologist I have encountered in my 10 years of FCPS has falsified documents/testing and maybe spent 15 minutes with my kid and even said things like "I have never had a student with dyslexia."

Ridiculous. No one falsifies testing. [/quote]Then, extremely wishful thinking testing results or improper testing. Granted, this was a while ago,  my DC scored a “16” on the DRA at the end of first grade.  The following September it was an 8, and we had worked all summer on reading and DC had improved very very slightly- they certainly had not backtracked. The school never ever fully explained what happened, despite being asked directly, but DC was “fast tracked “ into qualifying for an IEP that fall.  [/quote]

Just for clarification, the DRA isn’t a test that a psychologist gives. Those are teacher administered tests. [/quote]
