Probably!!!
I just wanted to share my experience. I had DS assessed - our first encounter with any type of testing - specifically required for school applications. We even had a 1:1 post report session for an additional cost. Sadly, we learned nothing new from the post report session that wasn't already outlined in the report. The only 2 extra comments made at the session revolved around the psych claiming that she doesn't see scores like DSs - "very rare." He did well in a particular section/portion of the IQ test. The other verbal comment she made was regarding the assessment in that DS was extremely intuitive and figured out that she was marking things down in 1 column as opposed to another. DS said, I know if I say XYZ, you'll check column A but if I say 123, you'll check the other column. The psych was astonished at his perception and said that had never happened to her before. Anyway, it wasn't worth the extra $ to meet with her to learn just these 2 points. The overall report was generic and brief without too many specifics. It was our first exposure so we didn't learn how brief until we had DD assessed. Both reports, by two different psychologists, were generic with lots of filler such as expose DD to writing by encouraging her to describe steps such as how to make a PB&J. We thought that DDs report was much better than DSs but it turns out they were both generic with... Come on, any psychologist that recommends BOB books in the report when they ran achievements and assessed the child at a greater than 2nd grade reading level should consider revising their generic report! And, these were the psychologists in town with a good reputation... I know the psych met my children only 1 time in both scenarios but surely some more specifics should have been included or digged for...
