I don't know about the original poster but when I "briefed" my son all I said was:

Someday soon, someone (and you will never have met this person before but the guidance counselor will introduce you) will take you out of class and work with you for a bit for day or two. You will do learning games and puzzles and small little tests. These activities are just so that we can all learn all about how you learn so that we can help you do the best you can in school. Try your best on every question and you are not expected to know every question but don't give up keep going. And if you need a break or to go to the bathroom, feel free to let this person know whatever you need.

And then I never mentioned it again.

Other than saying there will be a variety of puzzles, games and questions, please listen to the "teacher" and do what she asks...I don't think you should explain it to them.
