Can someone give me a referral to a good psychologist who can do a comprehensive WISC testing? I wasn't happy with GMU at all. I guess you get what you paid for... |

I highly recommend Virginia Smith, Ph.D., particularly for kids with any learning disabilities. (703) 938-5234, 380 Maple Ave W # 303B, Vienna, VA. The evaluation she did for my son in 2008, during the summer between 9th and 10th grades, was so well written that it is enough to qualify him for educational accommodations into college, with just an update rather than a full re-evaluation. Not only does she target the testing to address any disabilities she suspects (along with doing the full standard testing), she writes up the evaluation flawlessly so that any accommodations she recommends pass muster with the school system. (I have seen evaluations by other psychologists that did not accomplish this vital function.) My daughter had been turned down for accommodations three times in elementary school, even with the support of her teacher (since her grades had not yet suffered), but with a testing report written by Virginia Smith, she got accommodations which have now been in place for four years (into high school). She also does well with "garden variety" gifted kids. Another psychologist who has been highly recommended, especially for twice-exceptional students, is Ruth Heiten, Ph.D., Advocacy/Educational Consultants - Educational Consulting Services, 100 West Howell Avenue, Alexandria, VA 22301, Phone: 703-519-7181. She also has great experience with GT and LD students. I have not yet gone through the whole process of testing with her, but the early steps have instilled a lot of confidence. (Both of these psychologists charge around $2500 for a full psychoeducational evaluation.) Laurie |

Hi- For our son, we used Dr. Erika Madison at Mindwell. We were very pleased with her and the whole team. They also fit us in quickly so we could meet school deadlines. It was great.
