[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 587986, member: 11791"] Comprehensive evaluations are available from a number of sources - neuropsychs are just one source. Here (Canada), we don't usually have that option. Other options include child developmental/behavioral teams at childrens' hospitals, PhD-level Psychologists with extensive experience in evaluating kids with multiple challenges, etc. The key is to get a comprehensive evaluation. A 1-hour appointment with a neuropsychologist isn't going to give you much. A 1-hour appointment with ANYBODY isn't going to give you much. Comprehensive evaluations take time. Schools generally do NOT do a thorough job of Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluations - they usually only look directly at "school skills" (like fine-motor for writing) and not the big picture. You may still want to do ALL of the evaluations on both fronts, if you can (school and medical). [/QUOTE]
