When we submitted a portfolio, they asked for a writing sample in my son's own handwriting--something that my child with motor dyspraxia and hypotonia would definitely have trouble doing, so we decided to wait and have him take the Explore test. When we found out that it was on the same day as one of his Cub Scout races and he didn't want to miss it, we decided it just wasn't worth it. I will not make my son miss something fun with other kids just to take a test. I would like for my son to try the Explore test next year though because I think he would do really well on it if therapy helps with some of his 2E issues.
