In the end we got testing privately because we just weren't sure what to do and we wanted a professional, non-biased opinion.

We are having DS4 tested this week for this very reason. Our district has seemed amenable to seeing outside testing, but he's a year away from school. We're testing more from the standpoint of needing to know where we stand in order to make some pretty major decisions about school for next year. I was concerned about testing at age 4, but Dr. Amend indicated that the test he will be using will take 1 1/2 hours at most. Dr. Amend seemed to have no qualms about proceeding now rather than waiting until next summer. So off we go!
