[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 399532, member: 1991"] I'm not sure where you got that list form, but there are many more reasons for a neuropsychologist. But I do understand the problem with paying for it when you have a lot of bills. If it would be easier (at least in the meantime) then get your son assessed by an Occupational Therapist (OT) (for sensory issues) and possibly a psychologist, to look at the transition problems. Any reports you have had in the past, and any reports you get in the future, from any speciality, share the info with other people your son might see. Together all these reports can add up to a more complete picture, and it can also save you money later on. Are there any subsidised options for you? I'm not familiar with your health system, but here if we can't afford the high cost of private experts, we can get assessments done via hospital clinics. The wait is a lot longer, but if you're waiting anyway because you can't afford the higher costs of private, then a cheaper option with a long waiting list might ne the way for you to go. We had a neuropsychologist assessment done on our easy child, too, because she was so gifted. Developmental milestones being reached early - the neuropsychologist assessment was useful in getting her into some programs for the academically gifted. Marg [/QUOTE]
