[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jean Baldwin and Clare Anderson are both great.  Jean Baldwin also administers the WPPSI/WISC and works really well with the kids.[/quote]

It seems a little disturbing that she administers tests.  She only has a MA in "psychological services".. whatever that means?  She may be a super consultant, but get your testings completed by someone who is licensed![/quote]

I'd rather have someone who is good with kids and has experience than someone with a PhD.[/quote]

I completely hear you on the desire for someone personable and good with children (of course!), but I would only trust a licensed clinician (psychologist or neuropsychologist) for the actual testing component.  Experience wise, someone with a PhD has much more experience, graduate school time, and supervised training than someone with a masters.  On top of that, psychological and neuropsychological practices are governed by licensing boards.  I have to imagine that a savvy admissions team would frown upon a testing administered by someone who isn't licensed.  Consultations are another matter altogether obviously.[/quote]
