    I have one. She is already listed on Hoagies. For upstate NY, Pat Schuler from Creative Insights. We tested with her and she is absolutely wonderful. I can't say enough good things.

    ch64, I saw Dr. Newman's name on there as well. I wondered if anyone had actually used her. It's almost an hour trip, but worth it for someone good. I just didn't know if a person/OT/ST/etc was just able to "advertise" on the Hoagies website, or if they had to be recommended. Thank you!

    re: testers, etc., adding themselves to the hoagies site -

    From what I have read, the Hoagies listings are all parent-recommended.

    Carolyn K. At Hoagies wouldn't add someone who asked to be added.

    I suppose it is possible someone could pretend to be a parent and recommend himself or herself. Not very likely though!

    Her goal with that list is certainly parent recs, not advertising.

    P.S. If anyone finds a tester they like who is not on the Hoagies' list, please tell Carolyn so she can add that tester. Carolyn wants the help, plus more names on the list is good for parents and good for the psychologists added. I recommended our tester to Hoagies, and she is now getting enough GT business that she is able to specialize in GT only. That's good for our area!

    We had all our testing done with Dr. Jerry Schecter. He is our district school pyschologist. He's also a SENG group leader and highly interested in supporting gifted children. His private practice is in Skokie, IL.
