Hi, I think you may have responded to me in another forum. I cross posted because I was not sure where to put it.

The person doing the eval has this on her website-

"Mary Doe" M.ed is a Learning Specialist who has taught and evaluated children and adults with learning disabilities for more than 10 years. Her graduate work included the area of Learning Language and Reading Disabilities and she is certified as K-12 Special educator in the State of XXX. . "Mary" has extensive experience in supervising programs for students of all ages (preschool - college and beyond) with language based learning disabilities. She has special knowledge and interest in the area of evaluating and planning for gifted students. "


She is the one who mentioned that my son will need to see a behavioral optomestrist as well. She named one in particular and it sounded like she was very familiar with visual tracking issues. Do you think it is ok for her to do the eval even though she is not a psychologist?

This is from their website-these are the services they offer-
