[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would start jumping through the hoops now for the testing.  It will take a LONG time for MCPS to finally come to the conclusion that your child needs testing.  It isn't going to happen right away.  If you start the process now, [b]maybe in about 6 months to a year, MCPS will test if certain conditions are met.[/b]  I wouldn't worry about any stigma.  If your child needs help, she needs help.  There is nothing wrong with accurately diagnosing a disability and getting the help you need.  To not figure out that your kid has a disability because you are worried about a nonexistent stigma would be a travesty of the worst kind.   [/quote]

MCPS will drag out the identification process as much as possible. For your child's well being, get a private neuropsychological testing.  It will give you a good plan you can begin immediately at home and with the private tutor.  The report is like a road map of your child's strengths and weaknesses and how your child learns best.[/quote]

How can I find one that accepts my insurance? Any recommendations? We have FepBlue (Federal BCBS). I understand private testing is expensive, and I'm not sure we can swing it this year. We were hoping MCPS would do the testing, but I'm realizing that may take a while and may not be ideal.[/quote]
