[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 529025, member: 11791"] MWM - THIS is where we overlap! <grin> The key phrase is: "unless you also plain on doing ... a neuropsychologist evaluation too" Occupational Therapist (OT), Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) and other evaluations will NEVER replace a comprehensive evaluation. I'm one who suggests getting Occupational Therapist (OT) and other evaluations if appropriate, before the comprehensive... but always in the context of a comprehensive evaluation coming. The level of detail to which an Occupational Therapist (OT) or Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) can to go [B][I]in their area of expertise[/I][/B], exceeds what a comprehensive evaluator can do. Occupational Therapist (OT) or Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) has depth in one area, but not cross-functional training. Comprehensive evaluators have breadth of knowledge, but not the depth in any one area. Having the Occupational Therapist (OT) and other reports first is suggested so that you can [I]take that info to the comprehensive evaluator[/I]... and they WILL use it. They respect the depth of these other professionals [I]in their specific areas of expertise[/I]. The reason I'm so big on getting the narrow details first is that three rounds with comprehensive evaluators didn't come close to finding the problem for our difficult child. We needed the Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) and Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluations. It wasn't until we had those results that a comprehensive evaluator could complete the picture. [/QUOTE]
