Hi. I'm new posting here, but I've been lurking for awhile. My seven year old daughter has been evaluated by a developmental pediatrician, a psychologist, social workers etc. and has a diagnosis of ADHD. That's not her full story by any means though I'm afraid! We've also been told in the past that she exhibits signs of anxiety, ODD and she has sensory processing disorder. There is bipolar, schizophrenia and explosive rage disorder in her birthfamily. I'd like to have her evaluated by a neuropsychologist like many of you have suggested to others, but have no idea on how to find one who sees young children. Do I just start calling around, as there are several listed in my area? What kind of questions do I ask? When I mentioned this to our pediatrican she said since my daughter has been evaluated at a Child Development Center with the above mentioned professionals, there was no need for a neuropsychologist. I am so confused.
Thanks for any advice you can give me.
