[QUOTE="buddy, post: 529034, member: 12886"] 100% agree with IC, really nice way to put it.... Unless you have a solid diagnosis like Cerebral Palsy or some such thing then yeah, you might be on track to go just for the Occupational Therapist (OT) or Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) evaluation...or if you have a child who is just hard to understand but no other issues etc. Bringing in the detailed information that an Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) and Occupational Therapist (OT) can provide can help guide the neuropsychologist in their choice of tests too.... If I was just starting out and had no access to Occupational Therapist (OT) or Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) I would for sure go to the neuropsychologist or developmental pediatrician first. But these guys can take a long time and so getting the Occupational Therapist (OT) and Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) done also helps to start to put things together. (or PT by the way if you are having trouble in gross motor areas) In any event getting them all done is important, whether or not you do the neuropsychologist first...if there are issues then check it out even if it does not show up in neuropsychologist testing. I have been in meetings where I had done in depth testing and knew there were processing problems and the neuropsychologist had said that language was fine so the parents were confused. The NP then explained to them that his testing was not as comprehensive in those areas. [/QUOTE]
