Reevaluation - Testing - Marie Mackrell
I have a child on my caseload who is up for reevaluation. This is the first student that will have testing done. In the past I have only done a records review. Can anyone give me a little insight as to what to expect? I sent the consent home today for parental permission. Mom is requesting a psychological. I was just curious to see how long the process might take and what your experience has been with the process.

Seems I recall it was up to the psychologist's schedule as to how soon it could start once the paperwork was completed. It took 2-3 days for the testing once it got started.~Evelyn
Thanks Evelyn. I guess that is not too bad. Maybe because it is so early in the year, it might be a good time to test~Marie
This is my first year and I have 3 students who need reevals this school year. Luckily not until the end of the year but after our last class I see how early the process needs to start. All 3 of mine will be going to Kindergarten next year.

Hi - this is MAry Lou - Please do not sign permission to test without discuccing it with your psychologist. You need to have a mmeeting with the parent and the psychologist and admin to discuss this. Why do they want a psychological? We discussed this in class. Do not agree to a psychological without the psychologist present at a meeting. It takes 65 days to complete a testing situation. This is a good time of year, but it can take this long.

Hi Mary Lou. I did touch base with Dr. Way. She has been great to work with. Since it was the very first time I was going to have testing done, I checked with her before I spoke with the parent. The first time I met the parent this year she told me her child was up for reeval and wanted testing done - so I spoke to Dr. Way and my department head about it. Everyone was in agreement that the child needs to be reevaluated. We will see how it goes.
