[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cannot second enough the parent who says that if you suspect 2e, get a WISC ask for a 504 and reapply. ADD depresses COGAT and NNAT scores, but FCPS can't WISC everyone-- it's expensive. A 2e child requires a strong parent advocate. [/quote] I would add to this that if your child has significant anxiety issues or OCD, this can also depress Cogat testing,and you should get a WISC (and possibly a neuropsych eval) and reapply. And I say that recognizing that not all families can easily absorb the cost. The year we did a neuropsych eval, absorbed startup costs with a psychiatrist to medicate ADHD (way more than our insurance would ever reimburse), started with an organizational/ ADHD tutor, etc., we did a "staycation" instead of a vacation over the summer and had to cut out some extracurriculars for the kids, because we did not just have the extra money lying around.[/quote]
