Just an update because everyone was so helpful:My D's school had me sign off on getting an independent team to come in and evaluate her/ The first evaluation was done a couple of weeks ago - it's called DVI (Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration) on which she scored similar to that of a 9 year old (she's 6) - 87th percentile when compared to children her own age. The report says she has yet to develop consistent directionality.

Following these tests, she will now receive a WIAT (wexler), and IRI (INformal Reading) and one other test which is a 5 minute evaluation.

The team assigned includes a psychologist, a corrective education teacher, a counselor and speech and language therapist.

Once these evaluations are done, she may be referred to a pediatric neuropsychologist - with these tests being the foundation for the referral, if needed.

Will continue to keep everyone informed. Thanks again!
