If possible, I advocate letting school do their piece so that services or accommodations can be put into place if needed, but also getting the best private information you can.
DeeDee could you expound a little bit on "their piece" so I have a better idea what that looks like? My understanding from them is that they want the standard WISC/WIAT. I and they (from their statements) know my kid is an anomaly for them. I want to work together but don't want to miss a window of opportunity that leaves my child suffering with undiagnosed 2e issues that aren't fitting the school mold.
Vision testing is slated for sooner than school related testing so we will have more info in advance. I think I am questioning whether school related testing should be pushed till after summer therapy for any vision issues or pursued now to help with placement.
