Hello Having a psych assessment completed was a very positive first step. Now the school can provide the type of services that your daughter needs. It is often confusing for the parents when it comes to interpreting these reports. In order to help you with interpretation I need to get some more information. What type of scores did you share in your message? Are these the Index Scores or percentiles? Was there any diagnosis stated in the report? if you are not clear what the report says you can always contact the school psychologist and ask them. There is no need to share any diagnosis with other people or even with your daughter. If she does not understand what they are saying you can just ask people to repeat things again and in a simple way. Kind Regards
