How about Kennedy Krieger?

Another vote for Stixrud, though it's been a while and I can't recall the person.

Stixrud can be cookie cutter forms. Who did you use specifically that you liked? Also curious- any testers you don't recommend?

Would you mind sharing how long the testing itself lasted and if they did a school observation?

We were going back and forth and finally went with KKI and I was very underwhelmed with just 2 hr testing. Insurance covered it, but I would rather go to a private provider next time.

So we did a "neurodevelopmental assessment" since she was not old enough for the full neuropsych. It was 3 hours of testing (it is longer for a full neuropsych) spread over two sessions. There was also a 1 hour school observation (at her preschool), a 1 hour parent interview and then 2 parent feedback sessions (2nd one was at our request as we had more questions). They also had us and DD's teacher fill in questionnaires.

Which specialist did you work with at Stixrud?

Had a good experience with Resnick, saw Beth Feldman.

We really appreciated Stixrud's efforts. They did a very thorough report. I compare it to the chesapeake eval report from a few years ago, where the chesapeake came across as very template-ish without really giving a feel for the child

We had good experience with Neurobehavioral Associates. School commented on the quality of the report. We had it done in 6th grade and are using it for college this year.

Educational Consultant here. I think it depends on where you are and if you have some specific questions you want answered. I have seen very thorough reports from Family Compass, Stixrud, Chesapeake Center, and Neurobehavioral Associates.

I need to get one for my middle schooler and really would appreciate a recommendation. thank you so much!
