[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS went to Auburn for 6 grade since our charter was prek-5.  This was at the advice of our neuropsych - but I think he did not have current info.

My kid has had 1 psycho Ed eval and 2 neuropsych evals.  But I think for all the useful info in neuropsych evals, school recommendations tend to be the weakest:  it’s hard to keep up with current info…. Something to keep in mind going forward, OP.[/quote]

An eval from a developmental pediatrician is more like a psycho eval (than a neuropsych eval), right?  Should we get a neuropsych eval?

Thanks for any input.

Neuropsych evals are usually done when the child is 7, mainly because they want kids to take the WISC not the WIPPSI.  So wait.  My DS had the psycho Ed eval at 4 then neuropsych evals at 7 and 10.  It’s usually recommended that neuropsych evals are done every 3 years but we didn’t do another at 13, mainly because DS isn’t having any issues and doesn’t need an IEP.

A developmental pediatrician evaluation isn’t a psychoed eval.  Our dev ped wanted to see the results of our kid’s psych Ed eval.   I would recommend that your child get a psych Ed eval if you want to send her to public school with IEP or you can ask the public school do it as part of the IEP process.[/quote]
