[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the question is, should you do it, absolutely, you should do it. They are looking out for your kid’s best interest, and they are experts who have supported hundreds of kids and you are not. If you’re afraid that they may learn a diagnosis along with you and that they will ask him to leave, I think that will happen if it’s going to happen regardless of whether you get the neuropsych. But if they know how to support him, they can do so much better.

There’s absolutely no downside to getting a neuropsych, in my opinion, other than the cost. I had my suspicions about my kid going in and learned a ton of things from the results that I didn’t even know, like that he was dyslexic and had legit memory issues. If I hadn’t learned that when he was in third grade, his life would be really different and probably a lot more of a struggle. He’s currently got a great tutor who knows how to help him and I don’t get as mad when he can’t remember things. That’s just the tip of the iceberg.

So don’t be afraid. Don’t doubt them. Just sign up now because waiting lists are long.

The potential downside is they might tell you they cannot support his needs.  In which case, it's better for you to know so you can put him in a school that's a better fit.  If you don't do it and they continue to have problems with his disruptive behavior or inattention - they will counsel you out because, in part because you didn't support their suggestions.  You really have no option here. [/quote]
