[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]when my daughter needed an evaluation, she was in private school and we used a professional neuropsych for her evaluation. Her 3rd grade brother, also private school, needs an evaluation for ADHD as well. But I understand that we can self-refer him to the MOCo system. Our insurance covers about 1/3 of the cost, which is substantial. Should we use the County services instead? If so, what differences can we expect?[/quote] Never let MCPS evaluate your child! NEVER. You pay for outside evaluations. Mvps is way past the breaking point for being able to afford to help adhd kiddos. Every employee in the Spec Ed system is under tremendous pressure to deny and withhold services. Once they evaluate your child and deem him to have less needs than he really has (if any) they now have a rebuttal to any outside evaluation that you bring in. You are especially prone to being denied for services because your family history of affording private school means you can afford private help and will not want to help you at all.[/quote] +1,000[/quote]
