[QUOTE="buddy, post: 569098, member: 12886"] medication assistant? Um nope, wouldn't be my choice because they may know a little about adhd, they are not trained to truly evaluate learning, behavior, mental health or neuro developmental conditions. I'd look to a developmental pediatrician with a full team of evaluators or a neuropsychologist. And I wouldn't ask if the dr thinks you need that kind of evaluation, I'd just say this is what we need.....(since you asked what we thought, lol) Many of our kids would test in the adhd range on those questionnaires but it takes someone looking comprehensively at all skills and the history and multiple measures. No neighbors do not need to know your business and I'd be worried about confidentiality. Schools and therapists have to maintain confidentiality, neighbors do not. It seems.like a really unprofessional thing to say. Just mho. [/QUOTE]
