[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP. Thanks all. Yes, I am sure it was full neuropsyc in 4th grade. We paid about $5k. It was not really intuitive to repeat the test to support the request for 504. The fact that she is on medication managed by a licensed psychiatrist demonstrates that she has ADHD.

You all convinced me that she needs to be tested again. We will do that, but testing is expensive!

You shouldn’t need to repeat the test - as my child’s doctor has said - ADHD isn’t a thing that goes away so a test from earlier should still stand. I would recommend hiring an education consultant to help you advocate.[/quote]

While it doesn’t go away, between ES and HS many students will learn enough strategies that they need fewer supports. It would be inappropriate to write a 504 plan based on testing from five years ago. They are rewritten each year because kids’ needs evolve that quickly. [/quote]

The school must gather data from many sources other than psychoed testing to determine accommodations.

Psychoed testing does not need to be done for a 504 plan, and if the school believes it does then it has a legal obligation to provide it free of charge. [/quote]
