Hello! I post always about Dr. Dahlgren. I always reference behind Denny's. She administered the WISC for our child. No sock puppeting, just a very grateful client.

Sad that some of you find it so hard to believe, that you ask the administrator to look into it.

I also post about prepping for the NNAT and CogAT.

The majority of those posts are indeed from the same poster, which might be suspicious. But, over a period of four years, that poster has posted 1860 times and only mentioned Dr. Dalhgren 25 times. So, in that context I would say the poster is enthusiastic, but entirely within the guidelines of the website.

you noticed that?

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

+1. It's weird. The question is asked and her name popped up like 6-7 6 minutes later. And this happens every single time some asks about an AAP tester. Bing! First response always endorses her. And it always says "behind Denny's," which makes it seem like the same person responded immediately each time. Too big a coincidence. I must have seen this exact pattern half a dozen times. Almost like someone is self promoting.

What happened on the SN board? 2e kid, so that's another one I follow.

Charming. Is there a way to deal with it if that's what's (pretty obviously) happening here?

I think alerting Jeff would be a start.

Reported. We'll see.

She was late when we saw her, then go, go, go, go. So busy, so intense-- and then took so dang long to generate the report. My kid is anxious already and she made that worse. I really didn't like her. More importantly, DD didn't. My sense is that she doesn't have the people skills to actually practice psychology. I wouldn't use her again based on our experience. (And DD did test into AAP based on her WISC, so that's not my issue).

What are the issues with Dr. Dahlgren and why the opposition? Just curious.

Cursory review...however it seems people were just recommending her. I didn't see a definite pattern.

I would add new work samples and any new letters of recommendation if you have some.

The WISC is "new information" so you do not need to add anything else. However, if you have a new doctor's diagnosis (as an example), it makes sense to include it as well.

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

This is another refrain every year -- GMU uses grad students so you should consider a professional paid tester. Gee, I wonder who always writes these posts?

You tell me...
