We told DS (6 at the time) he was going to meet with someone who would help us figure out how his brain worked best and what he was good at doing already, that it would help us make sure we helped him with school, etc. Said he needed to do his best and to explain his answers if they were unusual ones (meaning: if he thought someone might not know why he thought about the answer that way). He was very nonplussed about it all... we were matter-of-fact and so I think he took it from us that this was a typical thing kids did.
