OP DeHe Member Joined: Aug 2010 Posts: 735	Hi Just found out that to get OT testing in DS's school means they consider doing other testing based on whether it's warranted. I guess its part of their whole IEP process. The psych indicated they would do the WISC if we wanted them to. I was also told no one would see it unless we wanted them to. There is no reason to do the WISC in this case (we are seeking just fine motor, not LD eval) but we had planned on having him take the test in order to apply for Davidson. Is there a downside to having a school psych do it? The upside is that it's free! The psych is not a gifted specialist though. Thoughts? DeHe
