Yeah. It's awful. Gotta be better ways to self promote. Is that against a Code of Conduct somewhere

BRW-- I say avoid as someone whose DC got into AAP based on her WISC. So no bad blood there. She was just awful to work with. So rushed and busy, busy, busy. She also made DC uncomfortable.

I've never thought that. I think lots do go to her. (Ever see the massive stack of envelopes containing scores there?). She wasn't rushed for us at all, but perhaps that's because we didn't go during the appeal window. My child was very relaxed with her.

Has anyone raised this with Jeff? (Maybe I'm jaded due to the other threads/postings on the special needs board.)

Depending on your child, you may want to use someone who has more experience working with children and administering the assessment.


+1000. For the same price, you might as well get a licensed professional. GMU should give a discount for their testers' inexperience, but they don't.


FCPS trusts GMU more. Go with them

I had called George Mason and they mentioned the same price of 390 for individual test.

For appeals, FCPS is looking for new information. Anything that you have that is new for the student is good to include for an appeal. It may be a WISC report or it may be a new diagnosis from a doctor (such as but not limited to ADHD).
