So sorry. But its a good thing I think to have done... Not sure what will happen because I've never been through it, but just wanted to let you know that I'm here to listen if you ever need to chat. Hope all goes well tomorrow.

Yes, just be as honest as you can and if you don't know the answer to something, just say, "I don't know" or "Can you explain a bit more for me?" I had to do that alot. Not sure where to put this

I think this is really going to be cool for you. Not sure where to put this

{{{{{{{{{Cherelle}}}}}}}}}} It's nothing to be scared about, Hon. It's just a bunch of questions about yourself. Like KD said, if you don't understand something, ask them to explain it to you. If you don't know the answer, just say so. Don't guess.

It's a good thing, Hon. That's how psychologists find out exactly what kind of help you need. I've always enjoyed finding out things about myself, even if they weren't real nice. Not sure where to put this

How else are you going to become the best that you can be if you don't find out what you need to fix?

It's going to be okay. I promise! Not sure where to put this

Dear Gurl.........
Don't be too nervous.....they are going to ask you a lot of questions....but they aren't questions that necessarily have right, or wrong answers.....

they are questions that allow them to realize how your brain works.....areas you do well and areas that you may have problems in.....figuring this out allows them to help you, help your Self.....

I have a brain injury and I have been evaluated at different times for different reasons.......they have always tried to put me at ease.....help me be comfortable....it is one of those instances where your mind makes it much more stressful than it really is......

Remember, you are being evaluated so that they can help you....

we aren't all the same.....some people have blocks, but when you figure out ,just what those blocks are, then you have the knowledge to take the steps to correct them....people with dyslexia (don't know how to spell it) have trouble with words....they can learn, but the process of teaching them, is different than for someone who doesn't have that problem.....

You will do fine.....just remember to breathe.......that is what my friend tells me, when I get nervous.....like Kimmy said.....if you don't understand something tell them, and they will explain it, until you do.........

Blessings to you.......

School psychologist/psychiatrist will mostly ask you questions about school, your classes and your home life, whether or not you do things with your friends. then he might have you do some things like matching the pattern from a picture on four - 6 multicolored blocks he puts on the table, ask you some math of various grade levels a bit of history, reading and writing, have you repeat backwords or forwards some words that he will say, Then he might have a paper with lots of guestions which you answer by coloring in the yes or no, or true or false area. the questions are about yourself - do you like this or that, would you rather be a whatever or a whatever, do you get so sad that you,.. and so on.the questionaire is really easy you just mark what is true or false as to what your likes dislikes and problem areas are. theres no right or wrong on them. the evaluation by a psychiatrist and or psychologist its about you and how you are thats all. its not something you have to pass to graduate

They will ask you ton of questions, but please do not fear, their job is to help you in a way that will help you specifically. Cherelle keep open minded about this sort of stuff and allow them to help you okay.
