Yeah, it might be in your best interest to get it paid for yourself, if you can afford it. My mom ended up doing that for my brother, because the assessment they did in the school missed the ADHD and diagnosed him as a slow learner (I.E. an IQ of around 80). Fortunately, my mom knew they were off the mark and took him to the Glenrose Hospital here in Edmonton and had him re-assessed. Turns out that he is a lot like Mica’s son but with Gifted, ADHD and LD as well as fine and gross motor skills problems. He has since developed other issues, but he would have completely fallen through the cracks of the system if my mom hadn’t taken him outside of it to get the assessment done herself.
