At GMU it was $380. I've heard it's a bit higher with private psychologists.

Oh I meant the score.

I bet it was his GBRS score which I still don't know and school says they will not release it until mid May. Absolutely rudiculous!!
Should I go for appeal?


School is required to give you a copy of the file once it was sent to the central committee. Who at the school told you this?


AART told me this via email. They just sent me another email that I can have the copy of the GBRS. Finally!!!


You can have the entire file (summary of test scores, GBRS score/commment, school work samples) that the AAP committee reviewed. This process is the AART's area, they should know this. If you don't get the whole file, make the ask to the principal. cc:ing the AART.

Did you submit the optional parent questionnaire and indicate your DC "is 2e due to his medical condition which is not ADHD and ADD"?


Yes... We filled all the forms including an explanation letter of disability and admitted all the work samples and recomendation letters.

This doesn't add up - especially when you say the school won't release GBRS comments/score. The school can share your DC's file as soon as it's sent off the aap central committee.

Appeal if you think it's ridiculous.


I said it was "ridiculous" because they wouldn't release copy of the file until mid May. Not because DC was not accepted.

How do you know this? Does FCPS send letters for students not selected also? Do you know his GBRS?

If the WISC was not high enough, I am not sure a Naglieri score will help. Did you include the doctor's evaluation report/diagnosis in with the original screening file? If not, I would offer that as new information. You may also want to consider the Stanford-Binet.
