Q: How much does the INDIVIDUAL assessment cost?
A : Fees are $380 for cognitive assessment and $700 for cognitive and achievement assessment payable to GMU by cash or check only. Students with documented eligibility for a free or reduced price lunch from any public school system are awarded scholarships covering all testing costs. Fees must be paid in full at the time of the initial appointment. Bounced checks will be pursued according to usual GMU policies and procedures and may include a service charge.
I am the one who posted about not being able to afford the WISC. We are nowhere near being eligible for free or reduced lunch. Still, with only one parent working full time, and 3 children $400 is not always in the cards.
