Reading these stories makes me feel really good about our school system. DS5 was evaluated and found to have a developmental delay in the social/emotional area, so he has a special ed teacher working with him in class and at recess 3 times a week to work on that. But he also has the SLP working with him on summarizing, because she noticed in her testing that he was consistently unable to summarize material of more than a sentence or two. He didn't qualify for services by "failing" any test, but she felt that the difficulty was significant and remediable, so she wanted to work with him to fix it.
frugalmom, have you looked for an independent tester, instead of through a hospital? It wouldn't surprise me much if the hospital ones really do only see head-injury cases.
