[QUOTE="buddy, post: 529199, member: 12886"] My experience with neuropsychs is that there are some that are better than others just as any profession. Their conclusions are based on multiple tests and communication affects everything in life so there should nearly always be an in depth Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) evaluation when there are major behavior issues. Behavior is very often communication related. The depth of evaluations done is not done by a neuropsychologist but they do understand the conclusions/results and it can give them much better data to add to the big diagnosis. And for a kid who doesnt meet criteria for a bigger diagnosis. ....if something has become evident the neuropsychologist will see that and you may not going to get a vague "somethings going on" and they can back up the findings and need for accommodations. Some kids really don't get big diagnosis. Yet they sure can be totally falling apart because of a fluency disorder or receptive or expressive language disorder including aphasia or apraxia or processing issues .....because having trouble communicating which affects every other area....academics, peers, church, work, athletics, etc. I feel that it is a similar story for motor and sensory difficulties. Bottom line doing all of them covers the bases (again with good neuropsychologist, Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) Occupational Therapist (OT) pt ...) and I'd always opt for that if possible. by the way, having no big diagnosis before an evaluation can help people keep an open mind for issues rather than only looking for the related symptoms. Wouldn't be my criteria for order of evaluations but it can be a plus at times. [/QUOTE]
