[quote=Anonymous]Thank you for asking this question, and for all the responses. We paid thousands for a diagnosis from someone recommended by our private school this spring, and ended up asking for our money back (eval report was not timely delivered). I am now trying to find ways forward to see how to help our child without feeling like we are being scammed. In our case it seemed that all the person did was administer tests, and was not actually working as a counselor to help children, and it was clear our child has a high IQ and likely (?) dyslexia and possibly (?) borderline ADHD but maybe not (never got the report) and the sense we received from the tester was it was all geared towards getting our extra time and accommodations in school. This was the third person we’ve tried to seek help from, we tried recommended nutritionist and independently a psychiatrist before the school made a suggestion. So even assuming we can find affordable testing, what are good indicators that the results are trustworthy and the administrators are looking out primarily for the child’s welfare? Do you get second opinions? See,s hard to do when it is so expensive. But the responses here have been incredibly helpful and validating the feeling that this should not be so expensive and alternatives exist…even if we have to wait.[/quote]
