[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, we regret it. It was $$$$, thousands. No info. We already knew he had adhd. Useless and impractical recommendations we would not actually turn over to the school. Pages and pages of them that would not actually help our kid and seemed cookie cutter.

DS was angry he has to go through all of that additional testing. We felt it was a money grab for parents to bully the schools into more than their kid needs.  [/quote]

This is absolute hogwash. You are free to take the recommendations and work with the school to make them fit. Most parents, after getting an initial diagnosis, don't know much about accommodations and which will help. That's the real help that comes from getting the child evaluated.

You are wildly off base. You have to explain your comment about pages of recommendations that would not help. You sound like you understand very little about your child's disability and my guess is that you are in denial and hate the idea of other kids/adults knowing your child has disabilities. [/quote]

Or … maybe, just maybe … the evaluator did a crappy job and the report was not useful.

I wholeheartedly believe that a full neuropsychological evaluation is a life saver for many families, but we regret pouring thousands for what ended up being a money-grab useless evaluation.

They made premature assumptions and went down a rabbit hole of what turned out to be a misunderstanding and poorly administered testing. The actual reason why we went for testing was not even answered, so we went back to square one after the testing.[/quote]
