Can anyone verify this for me:

After 6 months of saving my pennies, a few weeks ago I finally paid a private tester to purchase and administer the WISC IV. She has used the WISC in her practice for many years and did not expect any problems.

Anyway, the tester called me today and apologized. She said she has been on the phone multiple times this week with the Pearson company. My tester said that Pearson recently acquired the WISC IV and their policy is to sell the WISC IV only to public schools and not to private testers.

This sounds bizarre, but my tester was very sincere in her frustration. Has anyone heard of this policy change?
