[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We just did one, at Children's National. What I appreciated most was the one hour call with the evaluators afterwards. They went through everything in detail. In our case, they found nothing that met a diagnosis threshold. But, they had many suggestions on things to do where my kid was "slightly below average."

There is no downside in my view (other than cost if your insurance doesn't cover).If your kid doesn't meet a diagnosis threshold, they will still pinpoint things to work on and ways to help.

Just to add, they have a long wait list, 6-12 months, unless your primary care or another doc refers you for a specific concern. So, get on the list, at a minimum.[/quote]

Me again. This evaluation took 6 hours (with a lunch break). Plus a one hour call with me beforehand, three sets of form filled out by both the teachers and myself. This was not a 2 hours and we're done. [/quote]
How much time did they spend with you (not your DC), collecting the feedback?

We got 2 hours with a large number of quick questions and without an opportunity to delve deeper into issues that we see at home. There was an initial set of very high level forms that we were asked to fill out as well. But, that was it for our feedback.[/quote]

We got about 2 hours as well. That felt to me like plenty because, for my kid, there wasn't much to discuss. This was an eval because kid has a condition that makes it more likely for them to have a learning disability/ADHD/autism. It's standard of care to evaluate. No one (not me or teachers) thought my kid had any of this going in...maybe we're not a good example of what a kid can get out of this. But I was satisfied with how the process unfolded and its results. [/quote]
