[quote=Anonymous]I have a Master's Degree in Special Education and it is my philosophy that getting a MDT assessment is NEVER a bad thing. An assessment provides the parents with information about their child. Asking for an assessment (which the school is legally obligated to provide) does not obligate the parents to anything. For example, the WISC V test not only provides full scale IQ, but the sub-tests provide information about: Verbal Comprehension Index (VCI), Visual Spatial Index (VSI), Fluid Reasoning Index (FRI), Working Memory Index (WMI), and the Processing Speed Index (PSI) I think it is wrong to assume that practictioners just want to diagnose and label children, nothing could be further from the truth. We want to help children and do so by assessing their strengths and weaknesses. When their is a clinically identifiable problem, we identify and seek to remediate it so the child can be successful, not only in the educational arena, but in life. [/quote]
