[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just recd a letter today- dd not eligible for AAP. 
any advise on where to get WISC testing done, and how much does it cost? thanks[/quote]

I guess there are two groups on this thread who have been waiting for "results" (Forgive me, this might have been obvious to everyone else!)  The first group are those who do not have children currently attending a Fairfax County school who submitted applications/files in November 2009 requesting that their child be placed in the Level IV AAP for school year 2010-11.  Some of those parents would have submitted only NNAT and/or CogAT results and others might have submitted WISC or other tests.  The letters responding to these November applications apparently went out at the beginning of this week and if their DC was not admitted, these parents are now considering appeals.  The second group are FCPS parents who have received or are waiting for test scores to see if their DC is eligible for the AAP screening pool.

Quoted PP, your question might already have been answered above, but I have heard that FCPS might "trust" the George Mason University testing results more than tests by other private practitioners.  (This is just "hearsay") The AAP portion of the FCPS website links to the George Mason University website.  I believe the fee for the WISC is around $375.  Unfortunately, I don't have any specific recommendations if you already had WISC testing performed and are seeking a referral to someone else to have your dd re-tested.   If that is the case, you could call whoever tested your dd originally (if you haven't already)  -- they might have advice, including confirming whether your dd can take the CogAT, NNAT or WISC under the time frame limitations, and suggesting other tests that could be possibilities.   Good luck to you.
