[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]  I wouldn't let the school psych anywhere near my kid. They are so unqualified to actually diagnose anything. So often their go-to diagnosis is what they already have programming for. So they tried to shove my learning disabled child into an autism program.

They also like secrecy because they view it as keeping all the power.

I would get my child privately evaluated. You'll learn a lot more. [/quote]

No, she's not.

I asked our school's team to provide me with the following:

[b]1. What assessments and measures will they use and why?[/b]
2. What are the thresholds, rubrics, or standards for scoring the assessments?
3. How do they determine what pattern of results indicates possible or probably identification?
4. Is the intent to "diagnose" or what? Describe the precise purposes of the evaluation, scoring, and evaluation.

F if I couldn't get a straight answer.  In fact, the school psych didn't even have a copy of the curriculum standards in hand, nor did she have any sort of rubric for determining if my child was performing far below, below, at, or above any sort of performance standard.  I provided her with the information that the "stuff" I was concerned about was, in fact, articulated as specific learning standards across several grade levels, and her response was, "Oh, this is so helpful. Thank you."  WTF???

Yeah, so don't assume these folks are fully competent or knowledgeable.  We're going private, too.[/quote]

Parents have to sign off on the testing.  Schools by law have to give you a list of tests they want to administer prior to testing.  [/quote]
