[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the PPs recommending testing for suspected 2E issues -- thank you! I wish we would have done things differently for our kids as we only did the bare minimum (WISC-IV, WIAT-II, Beery-Buktenica, and Conners' CPT-II ) for our kids primarily due to who was in-network for our insurance and what we could afford. If I had to do it again, I would have spent more $$ to do a fuller evaluation.

Also -- for parents with children with 2E issues -- be ready to have testing done again late in middle school if your children may need accommodations for College Board testing (PSAT, SAT, AP exams, subject tests). We didn't know that until middle school and we did not plan our medical reimbursement account accordingly. :([/quote]

Not all evaluations are medically covered.  Only about $500 of the $3k is for ours.  It covers the ADHD testing but not the LD (dyslexia and dysgraphia for DC).  In addition to having another eval in 7th or 8th grade for College Board and ACT tests.  [b]They need one after they are 16 for college accommodations as colleges require adult tests that are not administered until the person is at least 16 years old. [/b]

For DC he had one for the initial evaluation in 2nd grade, another for 5th grade, another for 8th and another is planned for 11th grade.  It all costs $$$.  But is it not as much as the 2-3 x per week  reading tutoring sessions for 6 years. [/quote]

11:42 here -- thanks for mentioning this. Our psychologist alerted us to this in our initial parent interview but I neglected to state it in my post.

I think it would be helpful if there was a "Things I Needed To Know" list posted for parents. (Maybe there should be a wiki!)[/quote]
