Hi Jay,
Can you please get a clarification of who would be acceptable as a
certified educational administrator? In my local area, school
administrators are the least sympathetic people to AD/HD kids. The
problem being that if they admit that the kids have problems and have
special needs then the school district is financially responsible for
providing them with what they need. It has been my experience that the
administrators here even fight giving parents the appropriate testing
results to show ability levels. They (the administrators) often even
resist giving testing to find out what ability levels are!
I see this as a roadblock for many parents and Scouts. Having myself,
paid for such testing for my daughter several years ago; I can vouch
for the fact that it is very expensive. We paid just over $800 to have
it done privately. I imagine it is probably even more expensive now.
Thanks,
Pam Glidden
