DS's teacher just filled out the BASC for the neuropsych and I opened the sealed envelope and looked at it. I thought she was overly positive, if anything. The only thing on there that I thought was odd was she put "never organized" which didn't go along with the other things where she said he was fine. The neuropsych picked up on it and said it was probably an error. I ended up emailing her and said "the neuropsych is wondering if that was an error, or if you really meant never organized". She emailed me back and said it wasn't supposed to be "never", but an example with some disorganization might be with projects which require cutting & gluing . . . organizing his materials to use and then taking care of them after he is done (scissors, glue, and scraps). So she probably did mean to put "never" then.
I think she might be extreme on it knowing that it's the only way to get a diagnosis, and the "never" and "always" don't really mean "never" or "always" (it's a stupid inventory since when would anyone ever be "never" or "always" for these things anyway?).
If it was just a couple questions I would suggest doing what I did and say "the neuropsych was wondering if you really meant to say never for X question." But there are so many of them like that, you really can't do that. Maybe you should just say you saw it and you are concerned about her answers and want to come in and discuss. Can anyone really fault a parent for wanting to know how their child's teacher rates them? You have a right to her input. Let us know what she says if you talk to her! Hopefully she was over-exaggerating but that doesn't say much about her as a teacher. That could lead to a false diagnosis, possible meds that aren't needed, etc.
