HK, yes.
This is also why we have not tested any of ours. I know it probably sounds contrary coming from a professional evaluator, but we haven't seen any reason -to- test. We've been blessed to have had settings and opportunities that allowed our children to have their needs met as whole people, and to have the flexibility to change those settings when they no longer met their needs.
If we had been in circumstances where we had to rely on the public school system, we might have made different decisions about testing. Or not.
I and my siblings were all tested as children, most of us multiple times. I think those tests had value, as they did affect access to resources (and, in some cases, contributed to basic research). We have not yet encountered a situation where testing would either affect access to resources for our children, or contribute anything significant to the body of knowledge.
