Ok for run of the mill, but I would go to an experienced person over a student with very little experience (even if they are well supervised) if there is any indication of something complex.


For private psychologist with lots of experience, including specific experience with AAP, I recommend Dr. Diana Dahlgren in Fairfax, www.drdianadahlgren.com.


I second this recommendation!

This is discouraging! I heard that wisc 133 is a sure bet before... My DC is also not in (nnat 135, tat 96%) and I am thinking of wisc. For my DC's ability, I guess the wisc in the range of 130-135 is very possible. So DC will still have trouble getting in...
Maybe we should wait one more year for DC to mature? BTW, DC has a summer birthday.


A WISC on appeal seems to have more weight than in original packet. I wouldn't wait. Plus in your DC's case, the only low score would be the GBRS (I'm assuming that's the only reason your DC didn't get in) so a WISC in the 130s should override GBRS.


I thought you weren't supposed to get more than one WISC a year.

NNAT 126

Parent referred (not in pool) with WISC Full Scale of 137 (with VCI of 146).

Good luck everyone.

DC got accepted and our form is yellow instead of blue.

Insane! Those are such good scores. Do you know the GBRS??? Screening file should have indicated that English was not the first language.

Since your kid didn't pass the cut off, you do it by parent referral?

What is in the not eligible letter? Does it mention the kid will be eligible for level 3 service?

Is there anyone out there who didn't get letter in mail today? Knowing our luck with getting FAT scores, we'll be the last to find out here in lowly Reston.
