Nik's eval was so complex that it took us DAYS to complete at home and the teacher had to do her own. Then the OT combined them and scored them and THEN we spent nearly an hour discussing the whole thing to make sure the answers were solid (some of the questions are kind of vague) as she explained what they were really asking or split the hairs a little finer so we could get a truer picture of Nik's sensory issues.<BR/><BR/>For some UNTRAINED (in sensory profiles) OT to think she can, literally, phone it in? UNBELIEVABLE!!<BR/><BR/>I would also ask her **specifically** what the name of the testing protocol is that she is planning to use, research it and find out how it *should* be administered. You many need that info later if the undtrained person's eval indicates NO need for any sensory component being added to his IEP.<BR/><BR/>(My rambling two cents...)Niksmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14715465327343655483noreply@blogger.com
