    Thanks G! He is taking WISC at school in two weeks and they evaluated him last week for the OT, so it's going to be interesting what the results of all this are. As for not worrying about it. I wouldn't say I am worried about it, exactly, perhaps just excessive pondering!!! smile

    triplejmom is right

    Fill it out but don't over think the application. I did it in one sitting (not something I usually do but I tried to take Grinity's advice). I easily could have spent weeks tweaking it but decided to just submit it.

    Using WISC-IV scores a portfolio and recommendations (2), DD was accepted last month. I would definitely focus more on getting the application in than in the "perfect" application, especially as Grinity says, they'll ask for more if they need it.

    Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one,
    so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful.

    That is exactly what I figured has been going on in my life the last year or so. Thanks for the fantastic quote - it hit a chord with me (or two chords).
